Is LibreOffice really that slow?
Sure, it takes a while to start up, but after that my experience has been that it's as performant as Microsoft Office or Google Docs (ie. pretty much instant for everything I've done with it). Just start it once and keep it running, and you won't really have to worry about performance.
As for aesthetics, it looks fine to me... just like any other generic office app... besides which, aesthetics take a distant third place behind functionality and performance for me.
As for suing, what are you doing that you have to even consider suing someone?
That never even entered my mind for any software that I've ever used in my life.

But scrolling is sluggish, drag and dropping is painful, opening mid-sized spreadsheets takes forever, and on most of my machines even just typing have a noticeable delay. Even Google Docs feels noticeably faster and it's running on 12 more layers of abstraction so I can't really explain why is LO so bad... Note: Disabling Skia or hardware acceleration completely does help with performance on some computers.
