    Hm… I was under the impression it was rare nowadays to have such a difference between the two, clearly I was wrong. And yes, with such layout problems between the two suites, you can’t use LibreOffice if you’re working conjointly with peoples using Ms Office. (Which is, lest be honest, the case almost all the time.)

    That said, for peoples at home who don’t need to share a modifiable version of the documents they create, y would still recommend LO over MsO, for no other reason than the price. (Which DON’T include peoples bringing work at home, nor those working on some collaborative documents in their free time.)

      MS Office is a lot more polished even for personal use. No I do not care about OneDrive and few fancy things, but I care about the core offline features related to document. The weird part is I can expect MSO documents to open in LO correctly most of the time, even though the opposite is not true.

      I get away with personally using LO, but the moment I think a document might need to be made for external sharing or work, MSO needs to be picked. I do not consider it a sin to use old MSO versions.
