I'd switched my father from OpenOffice to LibreOffice, but the upgrade story was painful & years ago switched him back to OpenOffice after it was given to Apache. Figured the projects would consolidate under Apache, but no

& wow checking up on it now, things have not been going well at Apache for last decade

What exactly do you mean by upgrade story? The Libre Office UI hasn't changed for a long time (although there are new UI options l'île the ribbon, etc), I'd think the switch would be pretty straightforward.
I realized when posting this reply that these experiences are from over a decade ago. This was on Windows, the self upgrade option just didn't work well (large download, wouldn't complete or something, would end up reinstalling instead)
