Or just employees got fed up with the "almost but not quite there" compatibility, and unpolished functionality, and wanted to return to MS Office.

I've got a CS degree, have used Linux since 1998, used and developed for several commercial unices, and have used Open Office since it was Sun's. I still prefer MS Office.

Since LibreOffice 4.5ish I have preferred both writer and calc. Feels more robust and consistent + a lot snappier (incl. starttime).

I only use it for collaborative editing of docx and xlsx.

Were you using it for documents in English?

Because I don't know about German specifically, but with some languages, Libre office is very buggy.

Star division was german, I'm quite sure it works well with german.

( star office -> open office -> libre office )

not in this case. people coming from office 2003 have a hard time with 2010 or higher. it had a lot of things to do with smartphones which are problematic in the windows environment aswell. also germany builds more and more web interfaces for administrative work.
