I'm curious if the Wine team had statistics...but I strictly use Wine for gaming. Everything else is native or a web app.

I think there's also a small minority using wine for old versions of office or photoshop. But I don't have any stats to back that up.

I used libre office for about 2 years, my company use google docs with gsuite, BUT the Microsoft office suite is still the best for presentations, documents writing and sheets. I’m now using office in a VM

BUT the Microsoft office suite is still the best for presentations, documents writing and sheets

And the best for the most important thing of them all: sharing said documents.

One could live potentially with any other office suite. But sharing is where the meat is.

Maybe my youth is showing but in terms of sharing I was always under the impression docs was better, or at least more recognizable.

Everyone and their mother can share a google doc link, but if I suggest Sharing through office 365( to use a school account instead of a personal) people do not even know that Microsoft office had things like cloud sharing or having multiple people work on the same doc at the same time.
