Honestly, its gotta be the MS Office suite.

Yes if you're just writing your own simple documents libreoffice/OpenOffice will work, but if you have to do anything more complex than a single page spreadsheet, text-on-white presentations, or 3 page MLA book reports.... or, even worse, have to interact with documents and spreadsheets created by basically any other person on the planet, I've just never had a good consistent experience with any of the free options.

Disagree. Libreoffice is pretty capable for most use cases nowadays.

Compatibility is also pretty good with Microsoft formats despite Microsoft‘s best efforts.

OpenOffice is dead.
