We use both, and always for MS-office compatibility - we have no
choice because our counterparties require that; some customers even
mandate it. OO is better, I think, at 'WORD' compatibility, but
Abiword is much quicker to load and become usable. We've experienced
real difficulties in 'EXCEL' compatibility and we find that Gnumeric
has better xls compatibility than OO. (For our models, anyway.)
So, even if OO/LO were to be found to be fairly widely used by XFCE
users, we'd strongly vote for Abiword and Gnumeric to remain on the spin.
