Imho the only thing that will satisfy the PHBs is for any competitor to be an EXACT clone of Word et al.
imho even WordPerfect SIX was much better than Word is today. For those who don't remember, that was a DOS/Win3.1 product - before even the Windows Operating System.
At the end of the day, "nobody gets fired for buying Microsoft". Until we can change that, NOTHING will be the killer feature you're looking for.
IF/WHEN LibreOffice/OOo can clone the "reveal codes" feature from WordPerfect that, imho, will be a killer feature, but not enough on its own to break the MS-Windows/MS-Office monopoly.
Cheers,

Reveal codes seem, to me, to be "show invisibles" but for the markup such as font changes and such? The first search results are all of the "they're gone, what do we do?" And seem to assume you know what it is already. I don't know what I'd use it for other than me being OCD and I'd probably just ask myself "why am I not using TeX?". Care to explain what you've found so useful about it?
