LibreOffice supports embedding fonts in documents, whereas OpenOffice doesn’t. One big difference is the way they handle fonts. While both have their advantages, LibreOffice has many advantages over OpenOffice. When comparing the two free word processing applications, you may be confused as to which is better. If you can find documents you need to edit in the same format as Microsoft Office, LibreOffice is likely the right choice for you. Here are a few factors to consider when comparing the two: Platform, Ease of Use, and Features. Many thanks for all the information.If you’re in the market for a new office suite, you might be wondering which one is better. Personally I would install the latest LibreOffice from the official website, but if you are not bothered by the missing features in the app store version, go for it. This essentially means NeoOffice is a Mac version maintained by one person, based on OpenOffice which also has significantly less dev resources dedicated to it than LibreOffice. Because of these limits, fixing OpenOffice feature bugs is outside that scope. This limits the current scope of the NeoOffice project to keeping a stable version of OpenOffice running on Mac. Our very limited funds only provide enough funding for one engineer. On the other hand, their site clearly states only one person works on this version (seen end of the Contact page):
I don't see significant improvements or reasons to use this version. Native file locking to safely edit files in iCloud Drive, Dropbox, or network drives NeoOffice > Open at Launch menu to open Calc or Impress instead of Writer at launchįile > Browse All Versions menu to restore previous versions of your documents Take a look at their features page for more info. I also do not know for sure if they have integrated new features from AOO/LO. Personally I have not used it in years, so I cannot say.
NeoOffice costs money but supposedly has better integration for macOS features. OpenHub comparison of LibreOffice and OpenOffice shows this clearly. Thank you, I know development was more active but this gave me incentive to find the numbers. That is to say, LibreOffice is much more actively developed.
In the same time LibreOffice released 3 major versions with multiple bugfix releases in between. You can see AOO development is very slow. This was over a year after the minor release before that. Apache OpenOffice last had a minor release in October 2015.
