only in jobs were you'd be looking for a way out. The only things you can't do in LibreOffice is be 100% layout identical with the same document opened in Nadella-asshole-soft office (but still you get reasonably close), use macros (and people who create documents with non-VBA macros deserve to be slapped anyways) or use VBA (that's the real downside, especially in spreadsheet calculations). LibreOffice Basic isn't really practical to use, sadly.

Uhh, no. There are collaborative tools in Office that are used by the sorts of people who don't know what LibreOffice is. There's also certain internal policies that tend to classify information in ways that work with Office.

I know. But I do not see how those would keep the knowledgeable people from working in LibreOffice and saving their documents in OOXML.

If an organization relies on "classifying information in ways that work with Office", the IT security probably has no idea what they are doing.

Because they're not strictly "your" documents. You have to share them with co-workers.

Yes? And what would prevent the sharing here?
