This is going to be a good test of my rule that any project with "libre" in the name -- except, as my astute colleague pointed out, libreadline -- is doomed to failure.

Libreoffice is the main project now when they left openoffice.
Libreoffice + syncthing was my recent attempt at replacing Google Drive/Docs.

The latest mac version of Libreoffice is nearly unusably laggy even on brand new fast hardware with lots of ram, and it looks like garbage to boot.

Using LibreOffice is like being constantly insulted and abused by its authors. I think it is the outstanding example of "libre == junk".
Umm. What?

Insulted? Abused? What are you talking about?

Calibre seems to be doing fine.
