I use both LibreOffice and MS Word, taking advantage of what each of them does better, but mostly I use LibreOffice, which I consider better for typing.

I think it would be interesting to look into the poll archives - they go way back to 1999 - and ask the same question now and link back to the original poll. Some answers may need to be changed but I think it would be interesting to see how tech, culture, etc has evolved (both in the poll results and the comments).
