Productivity software, what do you use? Microsoft Office, LibreOffice, Google Docs, other?

There were more screensavers on 95 than there are in 10.
I do agree with what you are saying. However in their defense, we no longer need screensavers the way we did with the old CRT monitor. LCD monitor are not prone to having images over long periods of time burned into the screen.
 
Hm no one mentioned WPS Office from Kingsoft apart from the article. I use it since a while and its pretty good especially for no cost. Easy to use since it looks like MS Office 2007.
 
Notepad++
Just what I was going to write :)

My work went through a stint with Libre/OpenOffice, but it still has lots of display glitches and formula problems in calc and just doesn't always play well with documents from MS Office all the time. I think in the end my company just opted for site wide licensing as it was less of a headache.
 
Use a little bit from multiple sources. I've used Google Docs, but overall it's only a miniscule portion (maybe 1% or less). LibreOffice shows up, but again only as a very small share (maybe 5%). The rest is divided evenly between Office 2010 (used at work) and Office 2013 (used at home).

Of the different options, I vastly prefer the 2 versions of Office. I suppose, however, that's because I've been using Office products for a very long time -- Word & Excel (v. 6.0 & 5.0, respectively) were the first Windows-based word processor & spreadsheet programs that I learned, & I found it extremely easy to move to them from the DOS-based WordPerfect & Lotus-1-2-3 that I'd used before that. Sure, the introduction of the "Office Ribbon" was maybe a minor hiccup along the road...but I'm the kind of user that not only still remembers a lot of the old keyboard shortcuts for Office & Windows, but still uses them because it's faster for me than clicking through the menus with a mouse.

And how many people actually ran screensavers because they needed to in the first place?
 
The question you should ask instead is how many people stopped using screensavers. That is when they realized there was no longer a need. You might as well say screensavers died with Windows 98. Because from that point everyone started adopting LCD and features such as Sleep and Hibernation.
