You underestimate the power of the MS Office. Or rather, the flexibility of MS Access, to be specific - it's not "just" a DB, it's a prototyping environment (with a rather unfortunate tendency to protoduction, but that's hardly MS's fault).
As for Excel and Word - those are 80/20 replaceable for LibreOffice or what-have-you (definitely for SOHO purposes: it will work, mostly), but it took over a decade of concerted effort to get there. Making a powerful word processor or a spreadsheet processor is orders of magnitude harder than it seems at the first glance.
