Out of curiosity, what you can do in, say, Word or Excel that you can't in the LibreOffice versions?

I keep seeing this claim, but it is never substantiated.

I am not trying to be a prick and throwing a trick question in your direction btw. It is an honest question as someone that only needs those applications occasionally, and could switch to LibreOffice without issues.

others have articulated it much better but I think the difference isn't in what it can do. But working with existing docs - subtle things like font differences, formatting issues, working with the rest of the world that is MS dominated, keyboard shortcuts for excel warriers. LibreOffice is very capable on it's own, as a drop-in replacement is where it doesn't work most of the time. And the difference isn't even huge, but people being people give up fast.
