I can't speak for others, but I don't want an additional word processor like LibreOffice on my laptop. I already have Office, which I also need for my work. I have some very good Word macro's that do a lot of post-OCR processing and takes out an enormous amount of errors. The export to filtered is not ideal (understatement...), but it a macro is developed to solve that.
What is more, I like to have control over the code. I have some standards regarding to the code and things I want and don't want.
Even if I would use a plugin like this, I still would manually check and alter the code.
For what it is worth, I tried working with LibreOffice, OpenOffice, StarOffice and so on, but I did not like it... The wordprocessor is reasonable, but the rest was not up to par for me.
