My only issue has only ever been formatting from a DOC or DOCX, and having LibreOffice tell me that the page was actually some horrific table that Word had been hiding behind the scenes and that you can't possibly have margins on a table that small.
Words a trainwreck, but it is mostly a consistent trainwreck when displaying an already created document.
[Edit] You can see it in Word as soon as you try to change something and the whole document reflows in ways you wouldn't expect. Obnoxious.
With the misery of Word being so dominant, I feel like most people are completely unaware that a WYSISYG document editor could be different. Hell, LibreOffice recreates the same terrible decisions as Word. I stay as far away from Word as possible. PDFs and Pages for Mac make my workflow predictable.
