Popularity ≠ superiority. Proprietary text document formats is yet another proof of Microsoft’s crookedness—their subpar products only able to stay afloat by unethical anti-competitive behaviour.

    You can see that M$ staunchly opposes it as they never allow it in any of their tools. The only one that they’ve used is the * to make bulleted lists. I hope that it is the death of their software as open source alternatives slowly strip away their shoddy and ill-equiped tools.

      As open source software, LibreOffice or OpenOffice can now do more than MS Office or Office 356 or whatever it’s called. I was able to import all Word documents and save them as *.docx files. Or import PDF forms; it works. Sometimes something gets stuck somewhere, and then the community or the support team helps. Sometimes just a workaround and it works again.
