I've been using LibreOffice, just sort of by default, and it's far from perfect and I get the impress that Zig Forums doesn't like it, so I'm wondering:
1) What do you use?
2) Why does everyone else's answers to 1 prove they're fags?

The Spreadsheet is the main part of the "office suite" that I care about.
For text I already mostly use GVim/Markdown/Pandoc for my own stuff rather than LibreOffice Writer. Writer is for documents shared with people who are confused by the command line.
Would there be much advantage of switching to Groff over Markdown?

Anything other than MS Excel means you're doing it wrong.

If you use anything but pen and paper consider yourself excommunicated.

What's wrong with libreoffice?
Oliver Flores
Group essays with normies at uni: Google Docs
Most documents: groff (yeah I watch Luke Smith)
More complex university stuff: latex
But nothing wrong with libreoffice.

I used to write rst until I discovered org-mode. I mostly just write short stories.
Getting a little into LaTeX but just a smidgen Don't know if I'll do anything with it.
For spreadsheets I just use LibreOffice because I haven't bothered to learn ses-mode yet.
I've seen his stuff on groff but just don't see much merit in it for documemts other than man pages. There's lots of other "plaintext" formats that are pretty much wysiwyg.

Use Asciidoc. It's syntax is simple enough to use like Markdown but actually usable for anything halfway more complex than an email when you need it.
Plain text lightweight markup languages can be version controlled better for one. Even when you save as a flat XML you are still doing a 3-way merge on incomprehensible XML and base64 image embeds.
