I mean its easy to make a nice interface for people who just browse and such. But it becomes a problem when people go: "Oh so does it have Word and all my other office products?"

Open office and etc are all pretty poor replacements.

You sure? I suspect for most people, they don't use enough features of Word for LibreOffice Writer to feel much different.
Its not just about the feature set, its about using whats familiar for a lot of the "average" consumer.
Familiarity is an issue, but the newer generation are quicker to pick up new technology.
