I'm not a programmer but something is puzzling me: why is LibreOffice
compiled with MS VC++ compiler? This forces the installer to include the

Wouldn't it make more sense to use the FOSS compiler MinGW?
It's also possible to compile it with the MS VC++ compiler without the
VC++ runtimes :)
There are plans to use MinGW to compile LibreOffice in the future, but
for now it's experimental and unstable, and we still need to do a lot
of work and testing before we can ship it. But we will do it in the
long term.
