.Does it still look like it's from 1998?
It works very well for my light personal needs, but I find the UI to be an eyesore...

The notes include "improved user interface", so I'm sure whatever issues you have had for years are fixed by that

Would you prefer something Microsoft has cooked up recently?

To be fair, they've had the option to switch to that unusable ribbon thing Microsoft switched to for a while now.
Thankfully, it's not the default.

.Do they have a PDF editor solution?

Would you prefer something Microsoft has cooked up recently?
Ah yes, the only 2 design options. 1998 or Microsoft.

I like the 1998 version.

Do they have a PDF editor solution?
Maybe i got lucky, but i always had good experiences with the pdfs i had to tweak in draw
But most of my modofications are kind of form-filling, alignment font and format was never a reequirement

It has a proper dark mode now. Also there's different icon themes, I like the Breezy theme. Makes it look early 2010s

There's an optional "tabbed interface" in View > User Interface that's a lot like the Office ribbon. Like the Office ribbon, it has context-sensitive additional tabs, and you can enable a compact version that shows less but takes up less vertical space.
I've not had a need for LibreOffice for a while, but it certainly looks a lot less cluttered than the default old-school toolbars.
-
Do they have a PDF editor solution?
LibreOffice Draw can actually edit PDFs - it's not perfect for complex layouts but works great for basic editing, adding text, and modifing simple elements (tho sometimes formatting gets a bit wonky).

honestly kinda disappointed they switched to calendar versioning, it makes identifying big releases much harder
GNU IMP (i refuse to say the short name) 3.0.0 was such an event, it’s sad knowing libreoffice can’t really have that

Wait, is the G in GNU pronounced like the G in GIMP?!?!?

idk, but the G in GIMP (ugh) does stand for GNU
i wonder if it’s also the official reason that it’s (typically) pronounced in GNOME?

I like the 1998 version.
If it was good enough for my parents, it’s good enough for me!
