The actual computer magazine c't
  compared
  OpenOffice and LibreOffice and come to the
  result that the new versions of LibreOffice (4.1.x) had
  more features than OpenOffice.
  (but often unneeded like the work counting ... never
  understodd who needs
  such features I never was asked how many words a my document
  contains)
--snip--

actually i am very glad to the devs for the word count feature. most of the indexed journals (eg, lancet, 
bmj, nje etc) specifically mention the number of words your document should contain. e.g, abstract of the 
article should be within 300 words; original article 3000 words and like that. so, word counting feature is 
definitely not "unneeded" for me!
regards,
I know of a few writers and an editor.  Having to have access to a word 
count option could really help.  We pay you for 3,500 words and you give 
up 3,450 - not good, not good.  Of course then you use the word count to 
help with the final book size.  An average of 300 words per page for a 
hard cover and between 260 and 350 pages in the book is a good guide, 
but having a true word count would be better. Your manuscript almost 
never will have the same page, paragraph, and text formating as the 
finalized book from the publisher.  Having every tool that helps you 
write in the format and the size that you editor and publisher 
wants/needs can be very important for a beginning author.
