    • There is but look up training videos to do data analysis in Excel v the app they use in libre office? Don't even know the name. Besides we are talking about govt employees. Have you tried explaining command line to a govt employee? Look I respect the people but I know that they could not be bothered with open source
    • Let's see how long this lasts. In the end, it comes down to productivity lost because of workflow disruptions. It's not even a question of "which is better", rather how painful will it be to switch and it's hard enough for a single person to switch - imagine an entire city's bureaucracy. Remember, there are governmental system in the US that are still using 5.25" floppy disks... Having been involved in these kinds of swaps, I can tell you - it's never as easy as the fanbase thinks it is.
