> Stop the vendor lockin and leave Microsoft today
This post explicitly details one practical reason why I, alongside every physical office on earth, cannot leave Microsoft today. I would bet a lot that this is not the only reason, it's just the lowest hanging one that I can see.
> So a clone cannot make it look like Microsoft Office.
If this problem is intractable then we're never getting rid of MS Office. But I suspect that it is not, and that someone likely can reverse engineer the secret rendering sauce, especially in the age of AI.
Alternatively, people need to lobby the label producers for templates that work with free software alternatives.
