Quoting John Gregson <jfgregson@shaw.ca>:
I am an older person, with limited computer knowledge, using Open Office 3.3; on Win 7.
Would some Kind Soul please explain why Open Office seems to be fading away.

"Why" doesn't really matter to the end-user. It is all about corporate stupidity. LibreOffice is the now, OpenOffice is the then.

In Open office, I use Writer and Calc; I assume that the OOo files are compatible with Libre Office.

Yes, completely.  And the application will be comfortably the same

Should I start using Libre Office immediately?

Yes. LibreOffice has more developers and just more bugfixes. It is the same, just better.
