LibreOffice is equal to any office software out there, and has been much more stable than OpenOffice, and works without an internet connection unlike Google Docs.
I recently read an article about how the “Open XML” M$ format was artificially made super cumbersome and complex so that it makes open source software support it almost impossible.
The article was written by one of the Libre office collaborator who was saying that they are intentionally introduced bugs so that we never see a better adoption of it in open source tools.
Everyone should use LibreOffice … unless you work in a very specific office or school environment that specifically requires it, go install Microsoft Office, and even then, get your school or business to pay for it
Otherwise, for day to day document writing, letter writing or anything you have to do for yourself at home … LibreOffice is more than enough.

The whole standardisation process was a sham: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standardization_of_Office_Open_XML
