It seems to me that Libreoffice is geeting a lot of traction. From an anecdotal viewpoint alot more people are familiar with Libreoffice/Openoffice today than a couple of years ago. Development of Libreoffice after the fork looks healthy, with a big focus on refactoring and consolidating the codebase in C++. Because of the many language bindings to UNO, developing applications in Libreoffice is easier and a lot more interesting than developing for MS Office. I have only worked with Calc/Excel but Basic is a piece of crap language in both cases, and writing in Python is a big win. It also makes it easier to use version control and external editors. Combine that with no license and support for the valencian language, then its the right thing to do.
