Libreoffice is already shit. It works don't get me wrong but the project is far behind where it should be.

From the guidelines:

I wouldn't call it a shallow dismissal. If you used Libreoffice you already know the current state of it. It is slow, buggy, way behind in features compared to MS Office and the UI is a mess. If I tried to take Excel away from my co-workers and gave them Libreoffice Calc there would be a riot.

I introduced libreoffice at work in 2013 while reducing Microsoft dependencies around the office and we had success migrating from Excel and Word for about 20 employees.

What bugs are stopping you?
