I used to use .RTF as a standard in the late 90's and early 2000's BECAUSE
all programs recognized it and it was the closest thing to an open format.
Since the creation of .ODT, .RTF essentially lost its worth as the .ODT
format is more capable and is guaranteed to be supported forever as well.
I don't mind that .DOC or .DOCX have become standards in the industry, but
I think it's a bad idea for all of the world's enterprises to give
Microsoft a monopoly on document standards. The use of .ODT does not hand
power to one specific entity whereas the use of .DOC or .DOCX does.

Bad = It does not use open source dictionaries, and the author
is not willing to add any new ones. See discussions in Forum. For me ,
not having a Brazilian-Portuguese dictionary is a no-no.


I'll bet that LibreOffice offers it though.
