When I first meet Manjaro in June 2020, calamares will let us decide which office we choose: Libreoffice, Openoffice or None.
It seems that this feature is a big attraction compared with other distros.
Why is Manjaro quit of installing Office by default?
Which edition are referring to?
The choice was born out of necessity - because a lot of users didnāt like when the default was changed - what a furore - almost like some the English parliaments.
A probable reason - as good as any - could be the quite often referred ever growth of the ISO.
British Parliament, donāt want to upset the Scots, Welsh or Northern Irish. 
The nessecary office can easily installed with package manager.
wow whats it i am looking at exactly?
It looks like a new user āto-doā list that they can go through to see if they want some packages of different categories. Looks super useful for people new to Linux. Just guessing.
More or less Manjaro Hello replacement.
I still prefer the way, to choose āOffice, no thanksā.
Those are questions to ask here:
Hello friends, I am developing Manjaro Starter.
Nice, though I do not use Office anymore (using LaTeX and Markdown and MS Office if really need).
If you ALREADY have Manjaro and use Mardown - then the āStarterā will only be interesting to you if you install a new system to another machineā¦
It isnāt likely to extend too far, I also very rarely use Office - thatās irrelevant because thatās one reason I prefer to see a āStarterā chooser to allow me to include (qBittorrent) and exclude (Office).
Maybe a āMediaā edition should be spun up with Plex server and Media players included in the chooser 
I recently started using LaTeX for my documents, it is amazing once you get into it. Iām a program manager and it has really increased the quality of my documents, to the point where I believe I put everyone else to shame.
When people ask for my āword templateā and I hand them a .tex file is priceless too!
I see thereās a place for WPS Office right there, in the bottom right corner
