I could provide a list of reasons as to why I would prefer to use LO and 
then simply write to DOCX if that is what is needed, but, the brief 
version is

(1) I just like LO much better.... that MSO interface just kills me.

(2) Historically, there have been things that I did trivially in OOo / 
LO that I and a group of long time MSO users were unable to reproduce in 
MSO that was trivial in OOo.
