This app is so easy to use and I love all of the features. I'm a super user of Microsoft office but Libre Office is #1 in my book.
LibreOffice Writer is a powerful word processor, and in my opinion, far superior to Word. It's fast, lightweight, easy to learn and use, and can accomplish anything from simple lists all the way up to formatting a book. All of our tech how-to guides I've created for our IT department and customer service team have all been done entirely in LibreOffice Writer, with no difficulties.

Easy to use, has all the features I need.
Once a great program. The current releases are very slow. Opening multiple documents takes seconds. Saving large documents can take up to a minute. Memory settings are gone from the menu, though that only partly helped.
This is in need of some serious review. If MS Word can open 10 1MB+ documents in less than 5 seconds the trimmed OO/Star line should be more than capable.
For those wondering I have 64GB ram and a core i5 on a current iMac.
This is a sad turn of releases.
Is this still the case with a recent release? If so, it would be wonderful if you could report the issue with an example document on the project's bug-report website: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/

Through the entirety of my education, MS Office was a requirement, and the use of Mac or Linux for BYOD was banned. Whenever a school laptop reached end of life, bam, another $200 AUD was shelled out for 'Office Home & Student'. Money my family could've spent elsewhere. Never again will I fall for that scam.
LibreOffice is free, touts greater customization and performance than MS Word, and also lacks any outstanding privacy issues or anti-competitive behavior. That, and the scummy, greedy MS tactic of releasing an updated version every year (preventing my 2016 edition from having an actual dark mode), means I cannot recommend this enough.
My only major gripe is that it looks better on Linux, especially so with the dark theme, which just sucks on Windows.
De facto alternative to non-free word processors.
