  Yep, LibreOffice.

  Been a user since StarOffice 4…
  
  Note that the latest LibreOffice/OpenOffice.org cannot open the pre-StarOffice 5.x documents, whereas I think even the latest Office 2013 open MSOffice 97 files.

Unless you have to do a lot of formal presentations or documents I think open office and google docs would be fine.

Depends what you are using it for?

I used open office as an alternative for a long time. But when I needed to produce formal documents for printing I felt the formatting options were not as nice as Word.

My organisation uses LibreOffice, good enough for most areas.
