I have used LO Writer every day for small and large documents from 6-7 years now - ever since Linux became my main OS - and I can't say it's felt buggy or jittery. The UI perhaps may be perceived as ugly by some compared to MS Office's UI. LO has some alternate UIs like ribbon bars but I didn't find them particularly compelling to switch.

LO Writer as a word processor feels good enough to me. LO Writer as an editor for Word docx files feels unpolished, but I don't work with docx anyway. I think this applies to all the LO software when working with corresponding Office files.

Just like me, perhaps the developers of LO feel it's good enough? Perhaps their default OS and environment provide a smooth experience? Perhaps they don't work with Office files much?

I, too, use LibreOffice heavily, and I was a little confused by the OP. It works great for me. I genuinely prefer it over MS Office and the like.
