Without disagreeing with either of your points, I think you need to realize that "better" is not adequate to
guarantee use. (If it were, Word would not have displaced WordPerfect.) Enough people are sufficiently intimidated by
these tools that they want little more than the comfort of relative familiarity. If LO sacrifices that (not to mention
DOC/DOCX read and write), it will be difficult to get people to switch to something better. At least LO has not yet
inflicted a ribbon on its users. Virtually every LO enhancement has to weigh the "compatibility" canard.
