You can get LibreOffice on OSX with automatic updates, long-term maintenance, and optional professional support, for the first time. There are two editions of LibreOffice available on the Mac App Store: LibreOffice from Collabora and LibreOffice Vanilla. While the Vanilla edition can be downloaded free of cost, LO from Collabora has a price tag of $10. "Free through the App store" is an implicit endorsement that plain old "free" can't beat, even taking open-source licensing out of the picture.

Perhaps you meant...EXTRAORDINARY magnitude.
No, TFS says "historical magnitude" just to refer to the fact that LibreOffice largely looks like Microsoft Office did over a decade ago.

(P.S. I say this as a fan of LibreOffice....)
