    MS took over that market in the 90’s when shit was settlig down after the UNIX wars and people didn’t actually have an alternative. MS came in and swooped the market.

    It is hard to switch when ”the defaults"are in place.

          Thanks for mentioning it. I had forgotten it exists since I barely use word processors atm.

          And .ods in LibreOffice Calc has been great for me, and lightning fast. There’s nothing I can think of that makes me want to go back to Excel.
