Office compatibility really runs into the xkcd workflow problem[1]. For the overwhelming majority of users, any of these alternative office suites will work exactly as expected. They can save and open MS Office files, and can do all of the tasks most users need. But there will always be some user who has some hyper-specific need that decide they just can't get away from MS Office. This often comes down to some plugin, or some strange behavior of MS Office that the user has come to expect. Often, there's no technical reason these plugins couldn't be moved to some competitor, but they haven't been. Frequently, there's no reason the user needs this exact workflow, but it's what they know, and they don't want to change. So how is MS Office compatibility manged by these tools? It depends on who you ask. [1] https://xkcd.com/1172/ |
