Just for the record, people who are used to Word say the same about Libre Office.

Unfortunately, how familiar we are with a tool is much more important to us than how good it is.

There's a lot of subjective differences between Word and Writer.

Image placement is not one of them. Writer gives you the anchor and asks exactly where you would like it put.

Coming from OfficeWord and having recently switched to LibreWriter, I almost deinstalled again after failing to move a table, though.

Working with tables in general is a bit of a pain. I will stay with Libre, mainly for idealistic reasons :P but I really can't say that it's the better program based on my experiences so far.
