Re: [libreoffice-users] Which components do you use most?

Calc: By far the component I use the most. I use this regularly.
      Mostly small stuff, household finance spreadsheets, usage stats,
      bank statements, that sort of thing.

Writer: The second most used, although I seldom use this.

Impress: I have used this on a couple of occasions.

Base: I've only ever opened it for a quick look around.
      Being a programmer, I prefer to write my own. It may be past
      prejudice from the likes of Access, but I just can't feel
      comfortable using something like Base for anything; if the
      requirement is small, Base would be too much overhead, and if the
      requirement is large, then a custom application on top of a
      proper database would be a far better solution, more robust, more
      secure, more customised...

Draw: I've only ever opened it for a quick look around.
      I use other, custom drawing software when I need to edit stuff,
      like the Gimp, or Inkscape. Again, probably more just my personal
      prejudices, but I just don't view an office suit as a graphics
      package.
