@danielittlewood that's true. Come to think of it, there were so many other ways my job could've made it harder, huh. Photoshop, Autocad, etc. At least Microsoft and Google basically develop for Chrome, so we're still in the same boat.
I have edited documentation with LibreOffice locally, but a lot of what we use is "co-authored" by many people at once via webapp. This benefits me, to be honest, because at least no one complains if "weird formatting" from LO is left on them.
