LibreOffice is a productivity suite that is compatible with other major office suites, and available on a variety of platforms. It is free software and therefore free to download, use and distribute.
Reviewing 3.5.4 RC2 (May 24, 2012)
Good software held back by its reliance on Java Runtime (and a particular version at that).
The best use of development resources would be (IMHO) to replace Java dependency with something like Python or Ruby.
Then it would become 5* in my opinion.

While Microsoft migrates to Windows 8, I'll be migrating to Linux. LibreOffice has everything that I need to replace Microsoft Office. I am not too keen on using OpenOffice because it is now owned by Oracle.
Reviewing 3.5.3 (May 13, 2012)
Downgrading this from 4 to 3 stars. LibreOffice v3.4.x and v3.5.x ODF 1.2 and 1.2 extended created ODF format files cannot be opened by MS Office apparently. Not good. OpenOffice does not have a problem in this regard from what I've read. Uninstalled LibreOffice and went with the just released OpenOffice 3.4 by Apache. The way I see it now, Oracle was right to go slow in the development of this project. Now with Apache taking over OpenOffice, you'll most likely still be assured high quality standards as compared to a rushed effort at LibreOffice.
