I have been using LO since the beginning of its time, OO since its

relative, who uses Windows and MSO, uses it because: (a) It's a bother
to learn something new, (b) the files don't always show up right, (c)
her other colleagues (school teacher) use MS O, so they discus doing
things using MS O, and (d) most importantly, using 'something
different' gets in the way of her doing her job (excellent school
teacher). I mention this because I feel that these are real facts of
life when it comes to being a pioneer, using Linux and LO, or even LO
under Windows. I use Linux mainly because of the freedom based on
technology, not structure based on profits.

As for those who stick with microsoft: Use whatever tool fits your hand.
I, personally, haven't found anything msOffice can do that OpenOffice
and LibreOffice can't do. The UI is just different. Much of what AOO
and LO do do, I don't use. My concern is that AOO and/or LO are trying
too hard to keep up with msOffice and are becoming feature bloated too,
to the detriment of fixing bugs. AOO and LO are great programs in their
own right. 'nuff said.
