Ask HN: any alternative to MS word as a word processor?

<a href="http://www.openoffice.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.openoffice.org/</a> - OpenOffice, pretty much the gold-standard in open-source office suites. Very similar to LibreOffice, since they are both descended from the same original Star Office code.

For the Mac, the free Bean word processor (<a href="http://www.bean-osx.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.bean-osx.com/</a>) works for me!

<a href="http://www.libreoffice.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.libreoffice.org/</a> - full, open source office suite
