Care to list the missing 20%? OOo developers may find the list useful.
1 comments

Obviously the 80/20 numbers are pulled out of my rear, but I feel it's an accurate description. That 20% is different for each person, too.

For example, the last feature missing from OOo that I needed (and it's been reported, too) is styling for tables. Working with Internal API Docs, we use tables for parameter listings, and trying to make the tables readable and easier to use is difficult when you have to style each table individually.

Is that the Table/Autoformat thing?
No. When I first saw it, I thought "Yes, I found styling for tables!" but no, it's not. Basically, you are still setting each table an individual style. And if you are dealing with a lot of tables, this can be a lot of updates.

Here is the open bug report: http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=11121
