How do they raise the money?

"OMG A NUMBER ON AN ARBITRARY, HUMAN-MADE SCALE OF NUMBERS HAPPENS TO RANDOMLY REPEAT! LET'S MAKE A THREAD ABOUT THAT!"

I see. So, basically, switching from LibreOffice would not make much sense. Damn.

What is the difference between this and FreeOffice BTW?

Hm, I use Firefox, The Bat!, MetroTwit, mIRC, Sublime Text, FeedDemon, ... in full-screen. I can't read something and write something different at the same time.

Yes, I do use it. Nope, no problems.

Unless of course the author doesn't bother to submit it.

Indeed. So... disabling compat. check in your about:config could be easier.

It means: Extensions which are (technically) compatible with new Firefox versions and are submitted to addons.mozilla.org will automatically be "updated", so they are still compatible after a browser update even if they haven't been developed for years. There is (quite) no need to manually bump version numbers anymore.

Directly on the servers. 

Can it still be used to bypass FF addon version check?

This is pretty much pointless nowadays that Mozilla automatically bumps compatibility for add-ons.

It's very Windows-like.

If you are doing it wrong, it is. And most people do it wrong.

There's some "Add to browser" shortcut at the page footer.

You could just add DDG to your search engines from within the DDG site. No extra add-on needed.

Make sure that you don't violate copyrights.

Aren't there third-party file managers?

Well, two years later I am still proud of it, because I have not thought about a better one. Why should I?  

The most popular daily paper in Germany is the "BILD", some rainbow press which is full of lies, except the sports part.
Don't mix up popularity and quality.

I would not say Apache is a good example of quality. The reason why it became so popular is that it has unique features like .htaccess support and MOD_REWRITE.

// Hell, am I proud of this solution!

Projects which change this dynamic (either having QA provided by a company as a donation, roping in users en-masse for QA, or changing the dynamics and status balance with "marathons" or better recognition for QA) end up beating commercial software.

Are there any?

In my case, sometimes yes, sometimes no. Or vice-versa. There's a saying that 90% of everything is crap.

Yes, it probably is. A pity that I noticed it so late.

Hope that was a joke. Because I can't stand what they've been doing with Firefox lately. If I didn't have three extensions I'd prefer not to live without I'd be using something else by now.

There is no better browser in terms of functionality.

Most "professional FLOSS software" lacks a good QA. At least the software I tried so far.

What comparable commercial editor do you use? I use EditPlus.

Sublime Text 2.

The topic of commercial vs. personal use is a very valid topic. When it comes to commercial use, the amount of effort that goes into doing a task is often of no concern whatsoever.

OTOH, why would I want to use a non-professional software "personally" when I can use a professional software instead?

Very few people *NEED* anything more than what Open Office offers.

Not "more" but "better quality". Including stability, responsiveness and editing files without scrambling their layout.

Notepad++ is stellar. I don't know of anyone that needs a text editor in the same class that is commercial.

You can do quite everything with Notepad too. But would you?
Sometimes N++ just does not feel comfortable enough. (And it has annoying crash bugs in virtually every single version.)

Often the question is why use a Porche when a Volkswagen will do the same job?

Which leads us to the question: Do you want to work at all or do you want to work more efficiently?

I could provide a link to a similar rant about LibreOffice in favor of SoftMaker Office, but it is in German...

Generally I find myself replacing FLOSS by proprietary software rather often as FLOSS disappoints me in terms of quality. The only exception is Firefox. Yet.
