Really neither MS Office or Libreoffice is a 100 percent works every time solution for documents customers can send to you the combination of both gets really close.

Maybe "LO Development Time"? Naahh, too cumbersome. How about, simply, LOtime. It's shorter than "glacial", and it's totally unambiguous--EVERYONE will understand what's meant by that!

Personally, I don't give a whoop-de-doo about which which version of which toolkit being used, I just care about functionality. Lately, LibreOffice has been making some good progress for me meaning they are getting to the point where I can use it as my daily driver. Now, don't get me wrong, there are some documents where I just have to use MS Office due to crazy formatting which does happen on occasion, but those situations are becoming less and less.
