I personally don't much care what the developers do with LO on windows
platform, but linux platform advertises itself as a "platform for the people",
of sorts.
Now, I don't actually expect to have any import on that matter, but the quote's
an example of rather unpleasant tone OSS developers are universally taking
these days. Won't this and won't that, that thing's obsolete and that thing
won't be missed by anybody. If you want something, write it yourself.
Hardly "for the people", this.
The fonts issue: I've bought a disk with type 1 fonts in 1997 -- how is it
"obsolete", please?
Half of my legacy equipment works perfectly, but has no hope of running modern
OSS software, and for what gains? I can not do significantly more with LO these
days (excepting the new import/export formats), than I'd been doing in like
1999, when it was named StarOffice for OS/2.
