One of the most difficult things about migrating to Linux from Windows is missing MS Office. There's really nothing that compares to it if you frequently use advanced features. I came to this hoping it would at least be close to a "MS Word 2019 Clone," but it's not. The thumbnail in the software store shows you nearly all the features it has, which are about 20 (if you count things like, left, center, and right align as three different features). The look and feel of the program is nice for those coming over from Office 365. But this is basically the old MS WordPad for Linux, not MS Word. LibreOffice has hundreds of more features and capabilities than this. If you're looking for something feature-rich, stick with LibreOffice or O365 online. If you want a WordPad-like tool, than this ain't bad.

It can replace - talking in "windows-terms" the WordPad. Simple,easy, elegant/cute. It worls in 2 formats .ODT & .HTML. What is genial it is the way of doing replacement in the document, not only characters & words but regular expressions as well. It is clickable and easier than in LibreOffice. As I said: it is cute.... but totally unnecesary. Exept the situation you are preparing a computer for simple use of non technical person. Very nice idea
