Some words of caution about moving away from mainstream products like Office (or Gsuite, to a certain extent). Most alternatives have today very good features, but inter-operability between platforms remain somewhat an issue. Arguably my experience of this is a bit dated (2 years) but at the time there were still issues on format conversions. It is less of a problem with .doc formats (though I found Libreoffice messing up on how these are converted to/from, for example when images where embedded between text), but if you work with spreadsheets in a meaningful way (i.e. you build heavy models and financial projections, with pivot tables etc.) can you afford to doubt whether a file will operate as intended once converted to/from xlsx when you need to share it with someone outside your team/company? Gsuite is much more basic, in terms of features, than Excel so i believe this is less of a problem.
