I remember reading about how LibreOffice was better at recovering broken Excel files than Excel itself. It was a long time ago, but I wouldn't be surprised if that still were the case at all.

That might be the case, but in most cases you will be unable your work due to limitations in Libreoffice.

Look I like it and I use it, but I have major issues with the sheets missing functions and the Word just being incompatible. Like not being able to put the figure number below images or not being able to keep track of changes made when enabled.
