It is open source and amazingly helpful piece of software, once you get used to, you won't go back to any other office package.
LibreOffice is not 100% compatible with Microsoft Office so if you need to import/export to Microsoft's format you will most likely have problems. WPS Office is much more compatible. If you are looking for compatibility.
Your critics is right however 1 star is a bit harsh in my opinion

Install the non-free fonts from microsoft such as times new roman, arial, etc... and you will increase the compatibility and things will look much more similar.

Great alternative to Microsoft Office. However, it doesn't feel like it has given Linux enough focus. UI is one major drawback but it's getting better.
Here's how to make LibreOffice work much better in Windows: In Windows Explorer, go to CWindowsFonts. Then select all the Liberation fonts and "Hide them". With those fonts no longer available to the app, documents created elsewhere will no longer get their fonts substituted and even PDFs opened in the app will retain their fonts. Until I discovered this trick, LibreOffice was a miserably useless pile of drek.
I use it since the fork from OpenOffice and it's still as bad as it was: unstable with a lot of bugs to the point you work with it on anything more more than a simple text file and of course the UI is very bad.
It's the best Office viewer. The Open Source is a powerful point. It's friendly(offers hints) and easy to work with. It's lightweight and similar to the well-known Microsoft Office. The many compatible file formats make it the best choice for documents.
Good office suite, except for unpretty UI and not enough PDF support.
