Personally I haven’t seen much change in the features of office (that I use). Is there a reason for folks not to migrate to LibreOffice? Office 365 barely works nowadays without an internet connection, which is really annoying. Cloud first technologies are ridiculous, IMO. Developers out there: please test your code without and internet connection. Thank you.

Yes, because nobody else is using LibreOffice, and so whenever you send documents to someone else, you come off as very unprofessional due to the good chance your document won't render correctly for everyone using MS.

Sending them as PDFs should solve that.

I’ve had endless problems with Libre/Open Office and Apple Numbers + tracked changes. Since these are critical for contracts, I end up needing it. The Microsoft tools are total shit compared to gsuite on mac. But it’s the only option for reliable tracked changes.
