In my experience, MS Office files tend to have fewer compatibility problems on LibreOffice than on MS Office after the next update.

    It's never that MS Office files don't work on LibreOffice (formatting is a little different but almost never broken), it's always files exported from LibreOffice that MS Office misreads (because Microsoft can't be bothered to follow standards are anti-competitive)

    Can't be bothered makes them sound lazy. It's a deliberate method of squashing all competitors. If you can't send a document to someone else who usrs MS Office and have it appear the same, then you're going to need to use MS Office. Libre has been calling them out on this for years.
