it's pretty capable in term of most functionalities but you can't get the formatting, e. g. word docs, exactly one-to-one with its MS office version counterpart. So it would be difficult to share to multiplatforms users.

And Microsoft intentionally introduce bugs in its files design so that certain functionalities will be extremely difficult to replicate.
