My employer at some point decided to save money by mandating openoffice instead of ms office for anyone who only made documents for internal use (documents, spreadsheets and presentations). I ended up using openoffice for a little over a year, until our team demanded ms office licenses, and it turned me off of the product. I even switched from openoffice to ms office at home, out of sheer frustration with the product. Simply speaking, openoffice's problem was not a lack of features, it was a lack of quality. Using it was a constant exercise in working around bugs and poorly thought out user interface design. The lasting impression openoffice made on me was a feature-complete product handicapped by decades worth of technical debt. I am glad libreoffice are trying to reverse the trend, and I keep a regular eye on the progress they're making, but I really "get it" now why ms office has no competition.
