People, like me, don’t use these Microsoft files anymore but I understand I would be incredibly frustrated if one, that I need to open, lands on my lap and I can’t open it.
It’s just that I wonder how much code is used to even read these shitty files properly. I wonder how many human programming hours is used to deal with them that can be used to progress LibreOffice in some other way? I wonder how many times a LibreOffice programmer is yelling at their screen “WHY THE FUCK DID YOU GO TO A NEW LINE?!”
You probably can compile LibreOffice without MS file formats. Though I agree that it would be much better software if they don’t have to deal with MS bullshit.
Yeah I understand.

“GO TO YOUR HOME?! DON’T YOU LIKE YOUR HOME?! ARE YOU TOO GOOD FOR YOUR HOME?!”
