LibreOffice actually isn't that bad nowadays, for interacting with
these formats. I use pandoc for reading thing

I like gnumeric a lot also. The only fear is that GNOME

OK, then it isn't Abiword, it's FRIGNword. Too bad, I have

Abiword "supported" ligatures back when I used it. It didn't consider
them in font width calculations, though, which made the light-gray
whitespace dots further to the right. I switched to libreBROffice

Abiword sucks, in my opinion. I've tried it numerous times and many
times it crashed
without recover. It started when they switched to GTK+3.

Hello suckless folk,
what do you use to communicate with the part of the world (a majority,
unfortunately) who uses suckish formats such as .doc(x), .od[tspg] or
whatever? If Office is bloated, LibreOffice ain't slim, and people
keep sending me word documents :/
