For my case, if we're getting a Office document, it's almost guaranteed to break when opened with latest LibreOffice.

We don't handle these files everyday, but it's a necessity. If the data inside a file can be transported with something FOSS, it's already carried with that software.

So, in my case, at least; I'd rather do my research and create more GPL software rather than trying to convince established companies to switch to LibreOffice.
