Yeah, sure, but Microsoft Word web app scrolls smoother than native LibreOffice Writer on my laptop (on Linux), and there are also other bits of LibreOffice that sucks and have sucked for years.

Tbf, most Microsoft software sucks. Everything they touch gets sticky and moldy, like SwiftKey and Skype.

I'm using Libre office at the moment to actually write something more than a few pages, and it's English dictionary is missing like 50% of the English language.

I finally realized a couple years ago that I don't need an office suite or fancy email client anymore and I ripped it all out. No more LibreOffice and no more Thunderbird.

Now all I use is AbiWord and Gnumeric for my simple needs. I am finally liberated!
