First, you don't learn TeX. You learn XeLaTeX/LaTeX and mainly you learn to write with the macro packages. Writing novels and using Memoir has been worth every moment spent. Moving to Epub for electronic was a snap with 20+ years of XHTML/HTML 5 coding.
Writing Company documentations with LibreOffice 5.2 guarantees I'll never touch MSOffice. With interoperability growing with iWorks I can either just install LibreOffice 5.2 on OS X or leverage each suite for their strengths.
I have zero desire to use Google Docs. I can deploy on iCloud or share my docs within DropBox, to setting up a NAS.
The cash cow for MS is waning. MSOffice has been subsidizing their bottom line for decades. Google Docs is a bag of hurt. LibreOffice extends cloud support to DropBox and it's Paper feature set and you'll see a large business opportunity for both camps to extend resources to meet both objectives.
Large corporations will more readily invest in dev resources to extend LibreOffice than put their trust in a cloud based Google Docs service. Documentation is where a company houses its valuation. Trusting it to Google is insane.
