My experience with MS Word (mainly supporting it and helping others) is
that a major missing feature is "can handle large documents without
trashing them or exponential growth of file sizes".  Perhaps that's been
improved in the last decade or so, but it certainly used to be the case
that any Word document of more than about 20 pages was a gamble.  If the
same file was edited by people using different versions of MS Office, or
on machines where the fonts used in the document were not available, you
were pretty much guaranteed disaster.

:^) I still have word 6 and Office Small Business 2007 for an old reporting system I made for home inspectors. Uses an Access database. Ahhh, I was using visual basic 6.0 for them. Heck the first version of the system used word perfect 5.1.
