I would never use any sort of "office suite" for large-scale document production. That being said, I really appreciate LibreOffice. The spreadsheet component is quite good, and I use the presentation tool to make slide decks. I even occasionally use the word-processor for small or unimportant documents.

Most of all, I really want to thank the OO/LO developers for giving me a free tool with which to read MS Office attachments. In business, you can't realistically reject all MS attachments, and having free software that can open them is a lifesaver.

Yes, absolutely. We use DocBook + dblatex for large-scale documents in our company and both MS office and LO (the latter on both Debian and Windows) for small documents. Without LO (or OOo) using Linux as a company Desktop would not be an option.
