OpenOffice was a really solid Microsoft Office rival, and FOSS to boot. Made by Sun Microsystems, of course, and then ruined by Oracle (of course).
Thankfully LibreOffice was forked from it and is still going strong as a very capable suite of document tools. And OpenOffice is basically dead, womp womp.
Recently tried MS Office apps for the first time in 8 or so years. Somehow they made them less intuitive than even ribbon days. They use a dark pattern save dialog that makes it easy to accidentally save to OneDrive, and if you have OneDrive disabled or uninstalled, there's an always present icon in the title bar of the main edit window that says "autosave off" even though autosave is on.
Went right back to LibreOffice after one document and one spreadsheet.
And before OpenOffice there was Star Office.
Now I feel old.
Especially as I also remember when I used to write with Lotus Word Pro.
