Softmaker hushed in evaluations of MS Office competitors

[ecbritz]

Out of pure curiosity I recently read some articles on the internet about the current competitors of MS Office. Even respected computer magazines published online seem to hush and ignore Softmaker. I was surprised to see that for instance WordPerfect is mentioned as a worthy challenger -- but often not Softmaker. WordPerfect is indeed the grand old lady of word processors. It is "Office Royalty" next to MS Office, with some life-long, long-living loyalists on its user forum. WordPerfect is also liked by fine-tuning perfectionists, and deserves its grand status. But once you have experienced Softmaker, you abandon this grand old lady, despite your pangs of conscience. Another surprise is the admiration for the free, eternally-experimental LibreOffice. I do admire the selfless enthusiasts who work on this community project. But it is, in my experience, not nearly as MS Office compatible as Softmaker. A problem of compatibility is immediately addressed when reported in Softmaker's user forum, and soon you will see a repair available for downloading and installation. And yet, Softmaker often shines in its absence when MS Office's challengers are lined up. I'm baffled.

This "reviewer or publication ignorance" regarding SoftMaker Office -- now Version 2021 -- is quite unfair, and even "injures" all those potential SoftMaker users that have no idea of the quality Office system that SoftMaker represents.

Hence, that is one major reason that I have purchased full SM 2021 so that I can product review it for various publications, online areas, soon on YouTube and other "outlets", and to allow SoftMaker to use our reviews and excerpts in SM marketing, sales, and other areas as they wish -- at no charge or fee.
