Is there a 2010-era feature you're relying on that LibreOffice doesn't have yet?

When was the last security update for MS Office 2010? Wikipedia reckons sometime in late 2020. It might be worth looking at alternatives if you ever open potentially untrusted documents - maybe ones that appear to have been sent by people you know.

I'm not relying on anything in particular my current versions of Excel and Word. I'm just sticking with them through sheer inertia.

By default they don't allow macros (or editing/saving) documents downloaded from the Internet, which means I have to enable editing on documents I download. The few times a year I get a document from an untrusted source and don't want to open it on my computer, I open it with Google Docs.

If I'm ever forced to upgrade, I'll likely go with LibreOffice. But so far it ain't broke.
