And by far the best software that fully supports the ODF standards is - Microsoft Office!

Honestly? Still trying to peddle that myth?

1 - MS Office is still trying to shake off the code from the disaster called MSOOXML

2 - OpenOffice and LibreOffice grew up alongside ODF as a standard. If you see what MS made of its own standard it's clear they have no idea what one is or how to follow one. Also quite evident in the inability of Outlook to work with well documented open standards such as caldav and carddav.

3 - I've tried. Nope, no ODF write on macOS Office 2016.

The nice thing about LO is that it is directly supported on Windows, macOS, Linux and can in a pinch be compiled for other platforms. About the only issue with LO is that it does not use the accent entry system in macOS - which is addressed by its Open Source nature: a derivative called NeoOffice DOES do that, and has gone even further with macOS integration - all for the princely sum of €15 per annum.
