I had a perfect opportunity to advocate for libreoffice to a new
workplace colleague today. I actually recommended against using it,
(even though I use it myself) because if I was to recommend a word
processor with a longstanding bug that entirely removes embedded
images at random from a document [1] then I feel sure that I would
entirely lose the respect and friendship of that colleague.
