Criticism
IBM was criticized that they didn't catch up the release cycles of OpenOffice.org and thus having an outdated suite.
There were complaints about that IBM and the Apache Software Foundation didn't really open sourced the Lotus Symphony code, although IBM promised to donate the code to Apache. It was reported that some LibreOffice developers wanted to overtake some code parts and bug fixes which IBM already fixed in their OpenOffice fork.
