Let's rephrase what you wrote:

AFAIK, there is no reason to upgrade to OO.o 2.2 and there are no plans to. (Or Linux :-)

The fundamental problem was not that MS-Office 2007 is that hard to use. It was that it wasn't 100% compatible - you must keep a copy of the original MSOffice anyway.
To put it differently: it is not 100% compatible and it is not easier to use. Why switch to it then ?

Lets face it - MSOffice is not _that_ bad. Refusing to use it on ideological grounds is not everybody's cup of tea.
