On another note: why do we have open standards like jpeg and png but proprietary shit like docx?

MS took over that market in the 90's when shit was settlig down after the UNIX wars and people didn't actually have an alternative. MS came in and swooped the market.

It is hard to switch when ”the defaults"are in place.

Thanks. Thats actually very interesting. Do you know if there is a good open alternative at this point?

I think odt is pretty good.

And .ods in LibreOffice Calc has been great for me, and lightning fast. There's nothing I can think of that makes me want to go back to Excel.

Yeah, but if you wanna share your file... 🤷.

Thanks for mentioning it. I had forgotten it exists since I barely use word processors atm.
