I fundamental thing that makes FOSS better is not the product that exists, but that, when you see a problem, you have the option to think, "let's see how to fix it".

Now I have used MS Excel for most of my life, up until University end, and only recently started using LibreOffice Calc instead.

And despite me telling all my colleagues how much better the new versions of LibreOffice fresh are, I know very well that there are still some glaring problems in these programs even in general use.

However, I had experienced some problems in MS Office too and back then all I could do was feel powerless for a few seconds and then either find some workarounds or ignore the problem, depending upon what it was.

In case of LibreOffice, I can make a note of the problem and plan to report a bug and maybe even help fix it, which leaves me on a +ive note at the end of the day.

Digression: Problems with LibreOffice:

Calc: Using click+drag on the vertical scrollbar in case of even as low as 800 records, causes lags during the scrolling.
Writer: Images cause slowdown. This has been a major issue for a long time and you can probably find some discussions related to this, floating around.
