Three things made me change from MSFT office.
1. The first 64-bit version, 2007, was extremely buggy. 64-bit 2010 was also buggy and crashed regulary. Unusable junk.
2. Ribbon. This piece of junk UI makes the all apps in the suit a pain to use.
3. Excel graphing tool got worse, while LO and Gnumeric stayed the same. Simple things like formatting a date axis. Such function should be the most basic and usable feature of a spreadsheet app.
Thus, I didn't want to switch from MSFT, but I got forced to be able to do my regular work.
If you think data mining of billions+millions of user accounts is staggering, be aware that NSA already has most of the data that Facebook+Whatsapp has.

Well, I don't hear him complaining about getting 2 billion bucks from fb.
