PC Mag: Microsoft Office still better than best open source office suite

Don't take my word for it, look at what experts say.

I like this part: "work-in-progress quality means that some Microsoft
Office files import with errors". Can you imagine using LibreOffice--
which is the best of the lot (better than OpenOffice)--and getting
errors in a multi-million dollar negotiation? As D. Trump would say:
"you're fired".

Oh I know: PC Mag, they're on Microsoft's payroll. Riiiggghhht,
Linux (l)users.

LibreOffice 3.4
By far the best free office application suite, but not yet good enough
to replace Microsoft Office except where free or open-source is
required.

Pros
Free, open-source office application suite, packed with features and
power, and able to open and save files in almost any current format.
Cons
Clumsy, outdated interface; work-in-progress quality means that some
Microsoft Office files import with errors.
Bottom Line
By far the best free office application suite, but not yet good enough
to replace Microsoft Office except where free or open-source is
required
