LibreOffice adds support for Mantle.

Does it matter? More support for Mantle is better, regardless of the software it goes into.

 

More software support for GPU acceleration is better for GPUs in general.

I imagine this will be awesome for small businesses with purely AMD APU's deployed.

And really, if LibreOffice wants to be taken more seriously, the small/medium businesses are the costumers to cater to.

Now presentation animations will be over 30 fps

Because MS office alternatives need GPU acceleration, so you can see how slow you are typing.

Impress is the fastest and easiest way to create effective multimedia presentations. Stunning animation and sensational special effects help you convince your audience. Create presentations that look even more professional than the standard presentations you commonly see at work. Get your collegues' and bosses' attention by creating something a little bit different.

 

Draw lets you build diagrams and sketches from scratch. A picture is worth a thousand words, so why not try something simple with box and line diagrams? Or else go further and easily build dynamic 3D illustrations and special effects. It's as simple or as powerful as you want it to be.

 

These two could get some boost from this. Calc already was pointed out. Another thing that could benefit is batch file format conversion like doc to pdf.
