Ask HN: It's 2016, what software/tools do you use to write your resume?

Why pay for MS Office when you can get LibreOffice for free? (It can even produce Word-readable files.)

I'm not sure why I'd need specialized software for editing a resume. It's a short and simple document that any word processor can easily handle.

Agreed, LibreOffice is free and it handles some of the MS-Office documents formats as well in case your potential employer needs a Word document or something.

Even has torrents to download it via BitTorrent. I hope other FOSS apps use Torrents to download them, it is a better way to download and not have Internet timeout errors cancel your download.

The project isn't as active as it used to be though.
