But of course that's a double-edged sword. I prefer software that runs 
on many systems. I run LO on Linux and (wife's) Windows systems, and 
whichever version of xxxOffice that supports iOS on my iPad. I loved 
being able to pick up a Raspberry Pi, with a totally different 
architecture, and be able to install and run my favorite software with 
no learning curve. Some day I may want to play with Risc-V, and I know I 
can run stuff there too.
