I like LibreOffice but what made me switch back to MS was the compatibility problem. In particular in thr older version of LibreOffice thr fonts weren’t even compatible for me... I didn’t look back since going back, to save the overhead. FWIW, I did my thesis on LibreOffice but after that I switched away. Same happened to Thunderbird to Outlook, but mainly due to performance issue (handling tens of thousands of emails and searching through those emails), otherwise I would love to keep Thunderbird (its UI and functionality is just as good as Outlook by OSS standard).

MS isn’t perfect. It’s slow to open files, occasionally Outlook’s data file will corrupt or too large to be usable, then I have to delete the file and force Outlook download the emails again. I miss one license for life time model, instead of subscription.

I want to use Thunderbird, and for whatever reason even thunderbird performance is better on my computer.

The problem I have is that its junk filtering is absolutely messed up. It ends up marking several important emails as junk.

Also it’s not very clever in auto completing email addresses.
