If anyone follows this, what’s the current with LibreOffice vs OpenOffice.org? Is one objectively better than the other now? What has the community momentum?

View on HN

LibreOffice has all the momentum, all the brain share and all the innovations. They made massive changes and miraculously brought a crufty code base full of technological debt back to life.

Now they started to care about aestethics. And suddenly people notice. :-)

meanwhile, OpenOffice added some comic sans to their logo http://www.openoffice.org/

OpenOffice.org died years ago. You are probably thinking of Apache OpenOffice.

Regarding momentum, compare:
