To be honest, I'm a bit surprised that there's still the level of apparent interest in standalone LibreOffice that there is. I work somewhere that was almost exclusively a LibreOffice shop but we adopted one of the online services.

Office suites are a huge piece of the pie so even minority use cases get a decent number of users.
