@fartsparkles @Zorsith @apple_enthusiast the name change is appropriate for both descriptive and international standards purposes, even if not compliant with nostalgia. Now if they’ed just make iWork ODF compatible for the same reasons so I could use it for actual work instead of it just taking up space on my devices.
Just remove the apps and install Libre Office? You can literally drag the apps to the trashcan.
@fartsparkles I use LiO. Have for years. Memory is t really the issue. It’s useless programs because of the idiocy of extreme walls garden ideology.
Then don’t use the apps? You’re getting angry about free apps that you aren’t forced to use or even install (they are not even installed by default so you chose to install them).
Also as a LiO user since StarOffice, Apple’s apps are totally different beasts and I don’t see how they could be compatible. It’s like comparing Scrivener to WordGrinder; sure you can write a letter in both but they’re still fundamentally different apps with different functionality and design goals and their file formats aren’t ODF because of that.
If you need ODF/OOXML-like word processing, use apps that support them. Don’t expect non ODF/OOXML-like word processors to handle files they’ve no reason to be mucking about with.
