KNode - the protonmail makes no sense, since this UL is public.
I use LibreOffice and largely hate it, precisely
*because* it is forever
adding mud flaps and fuzzy dice and other mostly useless "features." The
processing of words hasn't actually much changed since about 2000, when
embedding links became useful.
I join this statement. I prefer using Apache's OpenOffice. It is supported
and most of all stable. I guess the TDE philosophy applies there too.
But I know people, who prefer the LibreOffice version. As far as Debian
stable is used the chances to crash or loose data are minimal.
Neither LibreOffice nor OpenOffice properly supports importation of HTML
documents' CSS styling, either imbedded or external. The last mention of
providing this feature is years old. It's very frustrating; and meanwhile,
as you say, we are provided with useless "features" that provide just about
nothing. :-(
Importing HTML into anything but a text editor has gone south more than a decade ago with
the rise of JS. I use Libreoffice now - and always when I open it I ask myself "why
the ...?" ... most of these ingenious bloatware use GTK and that gets in my way all
the time and GUI usage degrades with ever iteration. Just now D&D broke from firefox
to terminator - again. I'm slowly going back in time or better said moving to simpler
tools that don't break.
