Yeah, I'm not saying Libre office isn't...fine, or that development tools on Linux aren't good or even better. But the idea that all Microsoft software sucks is as demonstrably false as an opinion statement can be. They're really good, and with Office the alternatives aren't close. Do most people need all the functionality in Excel or PowerPoint? No, but they're great pieces of software and ignoring that is just plain tribalism.
