      Without a doubt. Very good MS Office compatibility now, alongside a user interface that gets me to what I need and is heavily customisable, and very well done integration with Zotero (the best thing ever for citations) through an extension comes together to being by far my most preferred office suite even when I have to use Windows. In addition, Draw has saved me at least a few times when I’ve had to deal with some PDFs that other software finds difficult to work with.

    It’s disgusting how many businesses have been herded into wasting money on products they can be using for free, then convincing customers they “need more money.”

      I’m fully in support of LibreOffice and the fact that it can do a lot for free. However it is far from an enterprise product.

      I’m still waiting for anybody to make a true competitor to Excel. There’s some decrnt spreadsheet software but there’s really no comparison to the functionality of Excel. Even Google sheets is a distant second.

      My point is, when there are power users involved LibreOffice just won’t cut it.

      LibreOffice is pretty far from Microsoft Office. Even Google’s suite is more polished. Like it or not, funding behind a project helps build a stronger product.
