As for those who stick with microsoft: Use whatever tool fits your hand.
I, personally, haven't found anything msOffice can do that OpenOffice 
and LibreOffice can't do.  The UI is just different. Much of what AOO 
and LO do do, I don't use.  My concern is that AOO and/or LO are trying 
too hard to keep up with msOffice and are becoming feature bloated too, 
to the detriment of fixing bugs.  AOO and LO are great programs in their 
own right.  'nuff said.
