Let’s not get carried away. Office suite (particularly Word, PowerPoint and Excel) is some of the best software I’ve used. Crazy powerful, easy to use, consistent across iterations. Outlook could have some QOL things but it’s still better than Thunderbird. VS Code is awesome too.
LibreOffice is good enough. Thunderbird is good. There is no shortage of development tools on Linux, if anything, it is the best development platform.
I switched 100% for 2012 when I changed job from game development to Linux development . I’d been 100% Linux at home since 2005, but changing work platform was the acid test.
Microsoft can get stuffed. I’ve not needed them for over a decade.
Good enough for who?
I’ve seen too many cases of word docs being hosed, or not working right in Libre. So from a business standpoint that’s a no-go. And that’s the challenge.
So don’t work in Word docs. It’s not a proper standard anyway.
Yeah, I’m not saying Libre office isn’t…fine, or that development tools on Linux aren’t good or even better. But the idea that all Microsoft software sucks is as demonstrably false as an opinion statement can be. They’re really good, and with Office the alternatives aren’t close. Do most people need all the functionality in Excel or PowerPoint? No, but they’re great pieces of software and ignoring that is just plain tribalism.
