Pop!_OS (Linux)

I can get past the jank UI, and use it all the time if my network is too slow to use Drive.

My main gripe with LibreOffice is just the UI, but that is partially because I don't use it often (negative reinforcing loop). Late 90's and Early 2000's me would be right at home. However, what I use on a daily basis is Only Office that I have in a docker hosted alongside my NextCloud docker. Only Office integrates well with NextCloud.

i just started using it. admittedly, a rarely do, but it's great

I've tried to use it on my personal MacBook before, but the MacOS UI seems clunkier than what I've seen on Windows. Also, I have run into a few compatibility/layout problems with Word Docs and Excel Files. Lastly, the icon is basically just a white rectangle which I find offputting for some reason.

I used it until I had to do a mail merge... it took me 2 hours before I finally gave up and did it in MS Word in 5 minutes. I'd love a libre replacement for MS Word, but not one that has just as janky an interface and doesn't actually do what I need it to do.

I use it for pretty much everything that I would use Microsoft Word for. Essays, signs, résumés, legal documents... lots of uses.

Why pay Microsoft for an office suite that opens your system up to all kinds of attacks (seriously, MS products are a real security threat) when you can have pretty much the same for free and open source? And who would want all their documents on some corporation servers like Google's cloud? Sure, convenience, but you can become self-reliant and still have convenience for example by setting up your own Nextcloud. So, yes, of course people use LibreOffice.

For basic word processing and excel like items I’ve used it and recommend it for others. Especially when I’m on my Linux desktop. I’ve used it for some small businesses as well so they could open and send files for work.

LibreOffice is eons better than any bullshit microsoft product

I sure do. On everything.

I use it and it works just fine for my needs. I wouldn't say I'm a heavy user though but it does everything I need it to do and it does it well.

Sure, used it at a job this past year, writer and calc.

After spending a couple of days to secure a PC to be able to do my job I was not going to spend another week getting them to find me an office license.

Had no issues with sharing documents with colleagues (except excel not parsing a regex from calc) or with the public. Way more issues with people not actually understanding how to use word and excel and do proper formatting. Calc also had a gui method to multi-criteria filtering that the various versions of excel around the office did not.

I also used Impress to edit some PDFs for another older gig. Bit clunky and you must have the fonts used in the original. Just remember a pdf may be a hassle to edit but it is editable and not proof of anything (on it's own).

If you find yourself not able to commit to LibreOffice you can always try OnlyOffice. For people that are used to the Microsoft products, those are quite easy and samey feeling replacement's.

I don't need any office program very often but LibreOffice is my go-to if I have a choice. I prefer flatpacks for the quickest updates.

I avoid MS Office like the plague. Absolutely hate it. Libre Office isn't perfect, but at least it's not MS Office.

I also like Libre's Excel program much better than Microsoft's. It doesn't crash constantly, for starters.

Does anyone actually use Google docs?

Now that that's out of the way...
yes, all the time. It's the best for linux 8) Wish theming was better though tbh

I use OnlyOffice. Mainly for the far superior MS office compatibility. Occasionally I'll use LibreOffice for the extra features not available in OnlyOffice.
