I hate MS as much as, if not more than, most, but I have to disagree about the comments regarding LibreOffice vs Office, and agree with @Erik P, only not just with Calc vs Excel. I've used Word and Excel extensively, and do much more with them, especially Excel, than most, and I've also used LibreOffice (Writer and Calc) a good bit.
I still use Office 2007 because it does everything I need and I'm not going to buy a newer version for no reason, and am certainly not going to pay a subscription And (often basic) things that Office can do, and has been able to do for ~15+ years, typically quite easily, are either very difficult or outright impossible with LibreOffice, even so many years later. LibreOffice also seems somewhat less resilient when it comes to potential file corruption, though it's hard to say. I have no issue learning how to do things differently in it, seeing as it's a different program, but when I can't figure out how to do something that should be fairly easy and straightforward, and is in Office, and look it up online only to find it's a convoluted process or can't even be done, despite the software being a decade-and-a-half newer, that's a problem. And this has happened multiple times, attempting multiple things, with both Writer and Calc (a stupid name, too, btw). Every time I try using them, it lasts a short while until I find I need to go back to Word/Excel to do what I need. And if I have to do that, then there's really no point in even using LibreOffice at all.
Another issue I have with LibreOffice is that it is significantly slower to start up and open files, and that's even with its special service that's always running to supposedly help speed it up. The last time I gave up using it, and uninstalled it, was a month or two ago when I opened a file in LibreOffice, then after several seconds of nothing happening, I opened it in Office, and it opened in Office a few seconds later, then another few or several seconds later it finally opened in LibreOffice.
I typically avoid MS software and products as much as possible, and use third-party software to replace their crap whenever I can, but Office, while far from perfect, is leaps and bounds, and literally a couple decades, ahead of LibreOffice.
It's a similar situation as with PhotoShop vs GIMP. I also hate Adobe, but having very little experience with either, I find PhotoShop not only more intuitive, but easier to find guidance online and, when using an online guide to figure out how to do something, doing it in PhotoShop is almost always easier, with fewer steps, and makes more sense. GIMP is free, so I use it, but it's a major PITA. LibreOffice is the same way IME.
