I have used Sun StarOffice, OpenOffice and LibreOffice. What they have in common is a bad, unappealing UI that looks like developer art. The features you need are there, but you have to fight the UI to get to them. Poor choice of fonts, small margins + large text that make things look crowded, poor choice of color pallette, low contrast between text and background making it hard to read, ugly icons... and I could just go on and on. What the Document Foundation needs to emphasize right now is finding UI/UX designers and graphical designers that establish guidelines for the UI on their projects. I wanted to like LibreOffice, but after years of trying, I honestly can't use it anymore. I use SoftMaker FreeOffice now. I understand it's not open source, but it's quality software I can use on Linux.
