LibreOffice better step up their games and make their office suites better. Outside of very niche and specialized applications like CAD or video editor, the average Joe will just need a good office suite to do stuff.

Most people just use the online office 365 thing.

What issues did you have with LibreOffice? I didn't spot any problems when I used it

Depends on what you do with it. In accountancy we and most of our clients work with Microsoft Office desktop. Also things like templates based on CRM work better with actual Word.

Edit: Libreoffice is also a bit annoying since the settings aren't in the same layout so helping others becomes harder. Not sure if they implemented it since I am not that well versed with it as with Excel, but I belief they don't have a PowerQuery alternative?
