Not everything has to have the ribbon you know. It may look a little outdated but still a good alternative to MS Office. That is if they've added support for the .docx, etc formats.
Openoffice 3 does supports the docx format.

The way it always supported .doc? I'd say "supports" then...
The "Ribbon" is a flawed piece of context navigation. Want an example? Where's the Save context block?
I love when people put **** in god tier and fail at it.
The specification was only made available (it's a trap, btw) as of last year, and in the most modern schema.
and why you need to be rude?
Because you dismissed OO just for the fact it doesn't have ribbon. So yeah, stop being anal about lack of ribbon and then you can demand people not to be rude to you.

It can.
It does.
