Yea, people don't like it simply because they're not used to it.
For instance, Cntrl-A, select all. Cntrl-Shift-A is a way more intuitive way to deselect all.
It's the same reason people complain about OnlyOffice, which is stellar.
I've become used to an alt modifier being typically negative and shift positive so ctrl+alt+a would be more like the unselect all and shift would add to a selection (though I guess you can't add more to the selection after "all")
I think I just learnt about only office. Been using libre office for a while, might switch!
Edit: I saw it doesnt natively support odt, so I might not switch after all..
I switched, never looked back. It's so much better for me.
I love open office. Partially true though with gimp. I just loathe how it does layers and I hate how the tools and shortcut keys are. Some of the most common design patterns are completely ignored. Unintuitive design is unintuitive design, even if you get used to it.
OnlyOffice is different from OpenOffice. And OpenOffice nowadays is poorly mainted, it has been forked a while back to LibreOffice
Yeah I meant libre office actually. Only office I'm not familiar with.
OnlyOffice is much better IMO. Local or web, integrates with Nextcloud, and has very good office compatibility, even with fonts.
