I agree a big blocker to LO adoption is LO, but not for the reasons mentioned here. It's true that for many purposes it's hard to get around MS Office simply because people specifically want it and will accept no alternatives.
But aside from that, LO is full of bugs and missing functionality. I use Impress regularly and I constantly encounter awkwardness and pain. There is no sure-fire way to set fonts for an entire document. Things are distributed across styles and master slides and those don't seem to cover all cases. Audio or video clips inserted into slides often don't play correctly, with various glitches or sound cutting out early.
I agree it would be nice to have better import/export with MS formats, but I'd settle for a LibreOffice that provided a bug-free core of functionality, even if that was somewhat smaller than the big proprietary tools.
