เขาบอกว่า คนจะ Bitterer ตามอายุ ผมบอก: ไม่ใช่ Function of Age, 是 Function of Experience Hope เป็น Finite, และ Eroded/Chipped Away เมื่อผ่านชีวิต และลิ้มผล ผล Ent Disappointment, Time and Time Again แต่ Hope คือ Last Thing to Die
ซึ่งเป็นเหตุผลที่ Mood Cycles ระหว่าง Mildly Despondent 和 Apocalyptically Gloomy ขณะดู Software World Rumble By, Doing Its Thing, และผมแค่อยากเป็น Happy User LibreOffice เล่น Role สำคัญใน Equation นี้ เพราะครอบคลุม 2 Critical Things ที่ Force ผมใช้ Windows Office และ Gaming ซึ่ง Simply Not As Doable 在 Alternative OS ดังนั้น ทุกครั้งที่มี LibreOffice Release ใหม่ ผมได้ All Hopeful คิดว่านี่จะเป็นวันว่าผมบอกได้ว่า I'm Less of a Prisoner of My Own Choices 和 Tragic State of Software World ที่ล้อมรอบเรา และดังนั้น ผมทดสอบ LibreOffice 7.1
Installation, Blurry Icons
ไม่มีอะไรมากพูด ลอง Suite ใน Windows 10 เพราะ Why Not และ Installed Without Problems Launch Main Program ลอง Programs ต่างๆ One Thing Noticed Right Away: Icons ใน Application Interfaces ทั้งหมด Blurry
Icons ที่看來就是 Wrong... 不該在 2021
IdeaPad 3 ใช้ 150% Scaling (Windows) ส่งผลต่อ Applications แต่นิรันดร์ไม่ใช่ Brand New Piece of Code Designed in Modern Era Surely? 玩 Windows Display Scaling Settings 有 Option 讓 Windows Try Fix Apps 以免 Blurry 這 Actually Turned On 所以 Toggled Off ช่วยนิดหน่อย แต่ Icons 仍 Blurry
決定看在 Options > View และที่นี่發現 Default 程式用 Colibre Icons 但可以 Switch to SVG Set 給 Sharper, Clearer Looks 无论 Resolution/Scaling 為何 為什麼 SVG Set 不是 Default? 或 Suite 不 Detect What It's Running On และ Adjust Accordingly? 即使如此 Some Icons Remain Low-res 看起來 Set 不 Complete More on This Shortly
Layouts
LibreOffice มาพร้อม UI Layout Switcher Tool 讓你 Change Look & Feel 成 One of Seven Options 有 Two Major Issues: a) Actual Options, 將討論 Soon b) Glaring Visual Artifacts 當 Switch Between Layouts 如果 Go Down, No Probs 如果 Go Up, Window 不 Resize Appropriately 結束 Terrible Glitch 如 Screenshot ด้านล่าง
Bugs Aside, Layout Switcheroo 就是 Wrong Seven Options 太多 意味著 Seven Permutations of Code 和 Consistency ที่ LibreOffice Team ต้อง Maintain 顯然 Not Easy Task 如 Screenshot 顯示 More than That, 只是 Too Much for Any User At Best, Two Options 足夠 - Classic Look 和 Ribbon Look That's All 相反 你得到 Varied Choices 不看 Different 多少จากกัน และ 100% Nerdy Just the Phrase Groupedbar 告訴你 Everything You Don't Need to Know 為什麼 Ordinary Person 會想 Mentally Wrestle Word Like That?
即使去 Tabbed, Implemented Badly - 沒 Text 所以 Guess Icons Do, 不夠 Spacing Between Elements, All Feels Crammed, 結束 Something Neither Classic Nor Ribbon Solution Halfway In Between With None of Good Stuff 這兩 Options Offer
Notice Expand Double Arrow on Right Side of Screen - Horribly Low-res
Microsoft Office Compatibility
Real Test for LibreOffice: How Well it Renders Office Documents 我們可以 Pretend This Isn't The Case 所有我们想 但 Vast Majority of People 用 Microsoft's Products และ那是สิ่งที่ Matter 不是 Moral Right/Wrong - Pure, Simple Functionality 和 Unfortunately, Until LibreOffice Can Do Office Stuff Perfectly, It Will Never Become Dominant Player in This Field
Similar to LibreOffice 6.3 และ 7.0 Reviews 我 Download Bunch of Templates 和 Rested Them Last Time, Developer 一人 Contact Me 問 Details 這些 Files 變成 Interesting File Compatibility Experiment 我相信คุณ找得到 Online Discussion 容易
To See How Far Program Progressed 我 Grabbed Two Same Templates, 但也試 Two PowerPoint Presentation Templates 如果想 Test, Templates: DOX 1, DOX 2, POX 1, POX 2 Anyway, Results Less Than Promising 事實上 Quite Bad
First, Word Documents Better Than Before, 但 Still Not Good Enough Misaligned Elements Images with Wrong Aspect Ratio Elements Sticking Out of Actual Document Area 如果使用這些和 Work with Someone 你不會 Get Desired Results
Now, Presentations Even Worse Completely Unusable Slides Look Nothing Like Originals No Transparency, Image Elements Positioned All Wrong 如果 Actually Do Presentations This Way 你會 Completely Mess Up Layout
For Comparison, Templates as They Render in Microsoft Office Online:
Style Management
Still Not As Efficient As Should Be - 和 Worse Than Office Styles List Jump to Current Style 所以如果想 Apply New Style to Multiple Paragraphs 例如 你必須 Scroll Around EVERY SINGLE TIME 這是 Dozens of Clicks 和 Mouse Actions More Than Office Does Styles 也 Applied with Double-click, More Waste No Ability to Search for Styles No Quick-style Reapply Clunky
Performance And Such
Sadly, Every New Version of LibreOffice Gets Slower Than Old Ones 有 LibreOffice 5.0 Through Latest Version Installed 在 About a Dozen Different OSes on Several Machines 有 Distinct Difference in Speed/Responsiveness Among Them 具體 7.1 Feels Laggy Opening/Rendering Documents Takes Time, Interface Freezes Now and Then Changing Layouts Takes ~15 Seconds in Writer/Impress 和 Almost 30 Seconds in Calc We're Talking Brand New System with NVMe 所以 Really No Reason for Anything But Snappiest Behaviors Alas, Not The Case
ข้อสรุป
I Feel That LibreOffice Has Lost Its Momentum, Just Like the Linux Desktop The Domain Has Been Idle For A While, The World Is Changing, And There Simply Isn't Enough Energy - Or Money - to Sustain the Project in a Good, Vibrant Way 毕竟許多 Open-source Projects Kick Off with Gusto 但一個dekade後 他們 Pretty Much In The Same Position They've Always Been 那不很 Inspiring - 或任何 Word 你想用來 Source Drive 和 Creativity
LibreOffice 7.1 Feels Worse Than Its Predecessors 不 Introduce Anything Super Cool/Useful 但帶來 More Bugs Speed 也是 Issue, Microsoft Compatibility Remains Tricky 然後 Interface 不需要 Billion Choices 就 One or Two But Polished to Perfection 甚至不談 Whole Community Edition Thing 我 Will Gladly Pay for LibreOffice, But I Expect Pro Results in Return 事實上 Healthiest Thing That Can Happen to This Fine Suite 是成為 Costware 因為否則 我看不見那裡 Needed Investment 和 Resources 將來 Ramp Up On Much Needed Features 和 Tools Free Is Good, Free Is Fun, 但 Tools That Don't Tool Aren't Very Useful And Thus, Another Layer of Hope Is Chipped Away From Me Soul
Cheers.
