To give a bit of background, I am a chemical engineer involved in
analysis and optimisation of a minerals processing facility.This
likely means that my usage statistics are quite different from home or
casual users however I believe these statistics somewhat reflect the
use case in the business world.

Do you use the quick starter?
No

 Writer with Math = 20%
 Calc = 60%
 Impress = 20%
 Draw = 00%
 Base = 00%

Writer and Math: To write technical reports
Calc: Massive amount of data being extracted, process and analysed
from a third party database.
Impress: As business communication tool
Draw: Prefer Inkscape and GIMP due to UI and ease of use.
Base: Use dedicated multiple MySQL databases due to power and
stability requirements

From a business point of view: Widespread use of writer, spreadsheets
and presentations.
Draw and Base are targeted incorrectly for a business market where
Drawings are either very sketchy or a very high standard and databases
are designed to be very basic, stable and process critical unlike the
features of Base and it's MS counterpart.
Spreadsheet to 3rd party database compatibility is very important.
