Can you remember the first time you used any MS office software ? Yeah that's right, like a toddler trying to stand up and walk for the first time...
We are so used to MS that we can't switch to anything else, because evey other software doesn't do it the "same way as MS".
It's not a question if LibreOffice works the same as MS Office, but how much time you're willing to invest to learn a new tool that isn't Microsoft.
If your 30 years MS experience isn't able to switch paradigm with that change, that's okay... Just stay with Microsoft and let the newer generation take the lead :)
