I refuse to have a module running in the background that allows for quicker startups of the program. Not only that, but it takes forever to start and often locked my computer up. I’ve tried LibreOffice, but it’s way too much like MS Office. One of the first things I do on any new computer is to uninstall the trial version of MS Office if it’s installed. Now that I’m retired, I wouldn’t touch Microsoft Office with a barge pole. I’ve even been forced to use the program in workplace environments, have on at least two occasions convinced my employers that WordPerfect was a better program. I’ve periodically tried to use Word and have always walked away detesting it. I can remember the tricks that Microsoft used to establish their user base, which was to force new computer companies to include it on all new computers they sold. I’ve been using WordPerfect as my word processor since version 5.1 for DOS.
