I'm going out on a limb here, but I don't think the kind of person who contributes to FOSS projects get into it for the fame and attention.

Jesus fuck did the LLM slop bots come out?
Why the fuck is everyone in favor of slop apps now?
The comments here are insane
"In favor" is a strong phrase. "Understanding the inevitable" might be more apt.
What barely works right now will get better. What was slop will surpass the best humans can code soon. I am old enough to remember when "Made in Taiwan" and "Made in Japan" were racist pejoratives for bad quality.
It's great to love your horse and your ferrier business, but when you're watching Model T's roll off the assembly line, even with initial build quality issues, you can see the world is changing.
I don't think it's a apt description, this so the first time human knowledge has in anyway been "automated".
It's either "doesn't work" or "does work".
And once it truly does work it'll be a different store. These sloperators thing that they have AGI like if they use the correct magic words a real enterprise app will come out. But it's not true, they are riddles with technical debt, drag, security vulnerabilities and bugs. No matter how many times you sift through them with the LLM.
Once AGI has arrived its a different story. Once coding is "solved" via a AI it's pretty much the singularity. software development requires critical thinking skills that once acquired will allow them to pretty much do any knowledge job on the planet and actually self improve.
LLMs aren't it, and when something real comes along I'll be ok board. LLMs have their use cases but anything outside of automating a call center or a voice assistant is pretty much a anti-pattern.
These aren't model Ts these are horse drawn wagons with 500 horses so they say they can have as much horse power as a real car does.

I firmly believe a fair chunk of the ones who are supporting it on here are either bots or have fully drank the vibe-aid, whereas the people who don't support it are ( in some communities ) being pushed away because the sloperators/bots are genuinely trying to psy-op us all into giving up our mental faculties to the clankers.
This is my paranoid conspiracy of the moment.
LibreOffice is great, but it has some glaring issues that keep it out of the mainstream. In my experience it can't handle multiple monitors with different scaling, comments on 365 don't import, formulas in sheets break, etc.
Some of these issues come from Microsoft, but other FOSS office suites like ONLYOFFICE have overcome them so it's doable.
I get the sense their tech stack is very rigid so that may be why iteration is slowed.
This. As much as I want LibreOffice to succeed (AND I WANT LIBREOFFICE TO SUCCEED SO SIT DOWN YOU IN THE BACK), having converted actual work projects over to LibO and maintain them has been hell, to say the least.
2026 and tables and text boxes still explode the document into confetti if you look at it funny. Hours of frustratingly reconstructing documents, or reloading progress saves because moving a text box one pixel over makes things explode.
LibO needs QA and maintenance fixes, badly. If you don't want LibO to use AI models to bug hunt, then enlist and help fix it. Development in turning LibO from a messy desk project to something actually useable efficiently has taken literal decades already.
OpenOffice hasn't released a major version since 2013.
My team uses LibreOffice exclusively, and extensively. It's fine.

Attention goes to that AI can fuck their creators though, not to the clone Programms.
