I second this. There's a little bit of a learning curve on some of the functionality, but it's not bad at all. And most of the functionality is very easy to find. I moved over to Libre Office several years ago and it's been great.

Office would have a learning curve too if you hadn’t been using it since you were a child.

This is very true. I hadn’t used Microsoft Office since 2007 and at my new workplace everyone’s using it. It’s really hard and I don’t find anything. Yesterday I was working with tables but I gave up and had IT install libreoffice instead.

Tbf it was simplier back when people first used it

When people were first using it they were coming from DOS or older machines. Many were using a mouse for the first time. It wasn’t simpler to them.

You can now enable a tabbed interface similar to Microsoft Office
