Some use LibreOffice to maintain compatibility and consistency between Mac, Windows, and Linux. I switch between all three platforms regularly, and it's nice that LO has tri-platform compatibility. LibreOffice also makes it easy to re-encode files, when saving, into multiple formats by using MultiFormatSave extension. It's useful for saving important documents for "future proofing" purposes [1]. Oh and yes, the cost is nice too. It doesn't hurt that I also don't like the ribbon gui.
