In some areas MS Office is still far behind LO. Especially when it comes to not like a noob styling everything directly via bold, italic, font size and so on buttons, but actually making things a style, and keeping the document free from direct styling.
Maybe LO is a touch more difficult to use, but in functionality, I would choose it every time over MS Office. Especially the Office 365 versions suck. They are sooo buggy. One example: Move your selected cell in online MS Excel quickly using 2 arrow keys, like down + right or up + right. Sometimes it will simply delete cell content. wtf.

Especially when it comes to not like a noob styling everything directly via bold, italic, font size and so on buttons, but actually making things a style, and keeping the document free from direct styling With Libreoffice lacking a proper Outline Mode (no, the Navigator doesn't count), I find style-powered document structuring difficult to do in Libreoffice whereas I pretty much live in Microsoft Word's Outline Mode.
- boomboomsubban 5y agoSo it doesn't duplicate something you've spent many hours mastering. That's what most of the complaints I see about LibreOffice (and many other free software alternatives) end up being, and while I understand why that makes it difficult to switch that's not really a fault of LibreOffice.
- yosamino 5y agoI would agree for some features, but for this specific feature I have to share this criticism. I work with Libreoffice almost exclusively (and I really like most of it), but the "Navigator" really isn't very good, it doesn't help me navigate my documents or style well - so much so that I usually avoid using it in the first place.
