Disagree. E.g. Word typography is not as advanced as LibreOffice. And words document master is buggy as hell.

But yes. Excel can handle big files now. Still sucks at im- and exporting different csv formats...

But... Because it's integrated so we'll with windows, is faster most of the time.

In reality: of course word should be a better program and it does get lots of loving from redmond. Only because: if no new features, no new sales. And since word is mostly a solved problem, redmond invented new problems...

Working with a LO user and a sub par program always beats working with a word user who can't use styles, review, and merge documents.
