Marc,
My apologies; I was not aware you were looking for how people managed
to up-rate LibreOffice to work better for academic work. In my own
case, I found the writer's tools offered by Dimitri Popov as an
extension toolkit to be most useful, particularly for things like
citations, bibliography
Marc,
So far I've avoided commenting on your request for two main reasons: I
was obliged to retire last February so am no longer an academic as
such and also it was not clear what you were meaning.
Let me say that I never had problems with LibO (since the addition of

While I understand your points, and Mike's, I can't say I agree with
them particularly.
On one issue we do agree and it is perhaps something to be looked at
