How do they expect to compete with MS-Office on features, or

The biggest gripe I have with Atlantis is that it saves to .RTF by
default. I can understand that they would avoid .DOC or .DOCX due to
their proprietary nature and the high potential for them to screw up the
format due to lack of compatibility but there's no reason for them to
ignore a format like .ODT which is open to everyone and superior to .RTF.

Maybe they don't default to .ODT because few commercial packages support
it, AFAIK. And making a Word format as the default may be seen by some
as tacitly saying Word is what you should be using.

I believe that is their objective to be honest. Companies shouldn't be
so easily handing the monopoly to Microsoft.
