Hi Luuk, You state that there are more than 59000 bugs in the bugzilla, but you do not state how many open bugs there are on Microsoft office. The reason is that neither of us know how many there are as MS office is not developed in the open as LibreOffice is.
This is not just an insignificant detail, but is fundamental. Free software is about so much more than just a cheap alternative to a proprietary solution. It is about everybody working collaboratively together to make a better solution. It should never be about just a few giving and the rest taking. We can all help in our individual ways to make LibreOffice better, whatever our skill sets. You cannot do this with MS office. I am not knocking MS office, I have never used it so cannot comment, but I do use LibreOffice and it works for me. I have to say that LibreOffice seems to me like one of the friendliest Free software communities I have come across so I know that they can find a way for any interested person to contribute.
