Would some Kind Soul please explain why Open Office seems to be fading away.
In one word: politics.
OpenOffice.org was part of a purchase by a company with a poor record
towards open source software like OpenOffice.org -- so most of the
people who worked on it formed a separate group and began producing
LibreOffice.
In Open office, I use Writer and Calc; I assume that the OOo files are
compatible
with Libre Office.
Yes,
Should I start using Libre Office immediately?
That is, of course, entirely up to you. I switched and have not had any regrets.
