I seem to have been using it for ever, but LibreOffice is actually just one year old. I’ve written a sketch of its story and a first-year evaluation over on ComputerWorldUK.

How many more years before it becomes usable on OS X? It’s taken a big step backwards in stability since the LO folks got their hands on it.
My experience differs from yours then. I have been very satisfied with the stability of LibreOffice on my Macs (I support 7 of them).
The review of LibreOffice is not too shabby. I may still switch to LibreOffice.
I remember suggesting OpenOffice.org to a online friend of mine. Some years back. She once stated that it’s all right she preferred MS Office. That was before some developers of openoffice.org formed TDF.
Personally I am for personal choice of office suites. Of which everyone is entitled to make.
I noted that office suites whether it be open source or real expensive ones can be, well, a little twitchy at times.
But youths who have written pretty interesting storylines and fanfictions via openoffice.org. When someone says you can write 30 page story or document, bunk-hogwash. I have read somewhere that one gent used LibreOffice to write a full length book.
