Forks and derivative software [wikipedia.org] Well that looks like a mess! At least the re-mergers keep it from being a 100% textbook case of the xkcd on standards? [xkcd.com] .
At this point it hardly even makes sense to refer to LibreOffice as a fork, except in the barest historical sense.
More like "OpenOffice is a primitive ancestor of LibreOffice" or something.
It's like insisting on always calling Joomla a "fork of Mambo" or something ...
You're kidding me. Libreoffice still has that slow startup and pretty much the same look and feel.
Is it improved? Yes.Is it still pretty much the same? Yes.
