Is openoffice not quite compatible yet?

Is openoffice not quite compatible yet? Mostly, from what I've seen. But I've run into issues with Calc every now and again, particularly when the spreadsheet uses some VBA.

OpenOffice does not have a real Access alternative, and the spreadsheet chokes on the big stuff.

I’ve tried Open Office off and on a few times.
Without fail it will crash.
How does Wine work? Actually runs the apps more or less natively in Linux or does it create a sort of Windows VM?

I think openoffice runs natively on Linux anyways...

Same original (StarOffice) codebase as OpenOffice, which I used for a decade or more. But LibreOffice has surpassed OO, in my experience.
