   I feel like the entire world needs to take a plunge towards LibreOffice for the good of all.

      The biggest blocker for me is having confidence my output renders the same with people using MS Office, pdf output isn't always sufficient.

         When is a PDF not sufficient? I write all my reports/letters in LaTeX and if someone complained about receiving a PDF, I would send them the source and wish them good luck.

            When I need other people to continue editing it.

            I also prefer LaTeX, I've written hundreds of letters, multiple papers, a few thesis and my CV (maintained for the last ~20 years). But the defacto for business documents sadly isn't LaTeX.
