In general I agree with you about Open Office however since MS Office is the defacto standard (rightly or wrongly) in the industry there certainly are limitations.. To name a couple, Excel files with macro's, quite common in an office environment can't be used in Open Office easily. There are also formatting issues with word tables, etc that can't be ignored. There are others that I could dig up if I took the time. In short for 90% of home users, Open Office is great but they don't always mix well in an office environment or if one is frequently exchange complex documents with users of MS Office, especially 2010 and above. But you can't beat the price. ;)
Have any of you tried LibreOffice? Supposedly an enhanced Office suite and free as well...
