No, it has substandard replacements. Abiword and gnumeric are better,
but still not good enough to replace the features of Word and Excel
that are in everyday use in businesses. We're considering migrating
users to a Linux desktop here, but the barriers are very high. We
think that certain departments can get away with the Linux based
alternatives to Word and Excel, but many can't.
