@jwcph I can't agree with this. LibreOffice is good, but Microsoft Office is still better. LibreOffice is good enough for most things, but if I need to do a truly complex spreadsheet? Excel destroys LibreOffice Calc.
What's needed is for more governments to switch to LibreOffice and donate to the project, so that it gets better.
