Collaboration with people inside and outside the company that use Office. The conversion back and forth hasn't been faithful enough, and who wants to bother with fixing things on both ends, both times?
I don't think I'd ever give anyone an odt document; the rare doc I produce with LO is exported to PDF before sending, not the least because virtually no one has LO or even knows what it is. And if I export to some Word format, who the hell knows what version of Word is on the other end? It's just not worth it.
If someone insists on a Word doc, I'll write a plain text document, give it a .doc suffix, and when the other end double clicks on it, it will open in Word.
