There is ZERO good reason for most folks to use payware like M$0 anymore.
It is expensive bloatware that dominates user's PCs.
BUT:
LO is still kind of funky, buggy and can even be quite crashy sometimes...speaking as a former daily user of it.
Other free competitors compatible with M$0 file formats are not bloated...and best of all, FREE !!
So:
A step up from it is Collabora Office - which came from it and is less buggy and crashy.
It is commercial - but the trial is free to use endlessly and has no nags or marks added.

2 HUGE steps up from LO is FreeOffice - which (IMO as a daily user of it) is just great.
