The issue is that it doesn't come with a keyboard shortcut scheme that matches Microsoft, so any company that does a trial with LibreOffice will see a massibe productivity drop right away as everyone's muscle memories become obsolete, and you don't want to tell Nancy the Dispatcher that she has to forget and relearn all the Excel shortcuts she's been using for the last 20 years. She would give you a piece of her mind, once she's back from her smoke.
It would be really awesome if there were a compatibility script or so that adjusts all LibreOffice shortcuts to match those of MS Office as far as possible.
Hey, how do you know she is named Nancy!? And that she smokes a bit too much! 😱
