I've tried writing a resume last month and prepare a presentation (Writer and Impress). And I was very frustrated by crashes and lack of features. The interface is quite good, more intuitive than the MS equivalents.

However, OnlyOffice was really nice to use.

LibreOffice is good. Very good even. I just wish Calc always had a 1-to-1 feature parity with Excel for it's formulas, it would make it so much easier to collaborate on a spreadsheet with others. I think I had to wait a few years on e.g. XLOOKUP.

It’s true, Excel specifically is head and shoulders above anything excel-like.

It is pretty much the same as 20 years ago. That is, good enough for basic use cases but nowhere near as complete as MS Office. It isn't a serious program for professional use.

For documents I started learning Typst and LaTeX a while ago and now I greatly prefer either of them over LibreOffice. Being able to write comments that don't render in the PDF is also very useful (i.e. when I do my homework in LaTeX/Typst I'll put class notes there as well)

Laughing Out Loud at you

Don't laugh too loud, you'll make LibreOffice Base crash somehow.

It's not. Installed and tried last month. A bug that's older that many people here with Fullscreen is still present.
