#LibreOffice is easily one of the most amazing pieces of #FreeSoftware I've ever used. Ever since I began using GNU/Linux, it's one of software that I use regularly and never fails me. I wrote college papers with it, arranged my finances and budgets, and even wrote a full book with it.
Whenever I need something that I must rely on for portability, LibreOffice is a must: open standards, formats and cross-platform awesomeness that I can rely to open my files anywhere!
