What's your favorite office program?

Google Docs

Another point goes to Kile/LaTeX.
Although I also heavily use Kate in programming.

Use the former more than the latter. Haven't used an actual installed office suite in some time.

I swear by Vim and use it for every text file I touch: from simple to-do lists to remote server management. Batch editing is breezy and my productivity soars with Vim, but I figured 'office program' meant office suite and I generally use OpenOffice.

I haven't used KOffice in years, but I recall Kword being much lighter/faster than OOWrite.

As Some one said Above Although I use Genome I prefer Kyle

I switched to Open Office Org 4 years ago. Have really enjoyed the program--tried a couple others but in the end I came back to OOo. Have not tried Libre yet but probably will after 11.04 is released. After dealing with MS Office prior to OOo, "well" I will just say that was another lifetime.

Softmaker office is great !

I mostly use Gedit fot its simplicity.
LibreOffice is my next testobject and if it's good I use it frequently.

Not a fair comparison when Abiword and Gnumeric are taken separately in comparison to OpenOffice and LibreOffice, which are suites, spreadsheet + word processor & more. I built Gnumeric, Goffice and Abiword for NetBSD and FreeBSD but haven't got to using these yet, have been bogged down in Linux because of a buggy implementation of gcc in Slackware, causing problems when trying to link to libraries in a prefix such as /usr/local or anything other than /usr, and a very outdated package mismanager that knows nothing about dependencies.

The MS Office 2010. If you don't know it, you can try it for free from MS. Worths the try, though...

I use OpenOffice mainly for school, because it includes everything I need, and works well with MS Office, which (sadly) my teacher uses.

I use gEdit for programming, because of all the wonderful plugins and code highlighting, and I usually use it for editing plain-text when using a GUI.

I use Nano because it seems easier to use than vi, and I use it when SSH-ing into other PCs, or just simply using the CLI. I also use the code highlighting feature of nano.

And I run them all on my main laptop, which uses Linux! :D

Now successfully been using Geany, because I use regular expressions.
It also has an integrated command line and can use it with python.
I'm sure there are other possibilities, but is very friendly.

MS Office

i use microsoft office. i wish i just worked in vi!

\LaTeX2e and occasionally OOo / LibreOffice

Softmaker

emacs to edit LaTeX files.

Microsoft Solitaire!

• When editing HTML and other simple texts, I prefer Kate, even more so if these documents are embedded into a project.
• I take quick notes (simple text) in KWrite, sometimes Knotes, if I need them to stick around.
• I am sharing a lot of documents, so I also use OpenOffice on a regular basis, but I neither like its interface nor its functionality very much.
• Neither do I like the solution WinWord on CrossOver I sometimes need to fire up when OpenOffice is not good enough.
• To write high quality documents for LaTeX, sometimes for TeX when needing more control, I edit the texts in Kate, since they are mostly embedded in projects.
• I edit scripts and config files in Emacs from the bash.

How is vim ranked as an office program? I might be ignorant but as I see it is as much a office program as GEdit, Kate, emacs, nano, ed, jEdit, and bluefish, and none of them is (in my opinion) considered a office program, maybe if you use them with LaTeX, but then I would still not have a hard time to disagree. Good piece of software? sure. Office program? Nope.

I'll go for LibreOffice in this case.

First and foremost, Scientific Word - saves me having to remember all that LaTeX syntax. I shall omit any comment, implicitly negative, of any of the usual office word processors as Potemkinisms. Second, MegaHard EXCEL because it has VB coding; for ordinary spreadsheet usage, LibreOffice is the best.
