Hope they make up their mind about theming. Trying to make yourself different in different platform because you are mimicking your competitor sounds lame.

I recently found Adwaita-dark theme combined with the breeze-dark icons to resolve the contrast issues I used to have with libreoffice that forced me to run it in a light theme up until just last week or so.

Better theming is always nice but I am still waiting on better Excel compatibility since the OpenOffice days so I can ditch WPS. But, I guess that is an intangible dream just like winning the billion dollar Powerball.

Looking at our bug tracker I see 38 reports changed to fixed this year with xls or xlsx in the title. From the OpenOffice days (2010), I see 704. There are of course more improvements outside this simple search. Tangibility of dream confirmed!!
