I’ve been working on an anthology of short fiction, and using LibreOffice Writer for the project 
has been an exhausting ordeal. The constant formatting issues, crashes, and broken features have 
eroded any hope of completing this work with your software. I ultimately abandoned the project, 
deleted the manuscript, and removed LibreOffice from my machine.

I understand that this is free software, but distributing something so unreliable for serious 
writing projects is irresponsible to the users who trust it. I’ve lost significant time and effort 
because of this.

I’m not writing this to be pleasant — I’m writing because I want LibreOffice to do better. Please 
take this frustration seriously. Tools meant for creative work should help the process, not derail 
it.
