Today, I was saving a file to doc while working on libreoffice writer. It
showed a warning that if I save in doc format, it may break formatting.
Although there is an option to disable it, it shouldn't be popped up even. It will frighten more people to use it rather than attracting people to use
it.

We warn users expressly because the other formats are export formats, not the default native ODF document model that LibreOffice supports.

The .doc format is a filter 'export' from our native ODF document model. Likewise OOXML of .docx format. For greatest fidelity to a document opened into LibreOffice you should be saving to an ODF format .odt.

If you need to exchange the document with someone who needs old binary MS Word formats, or more recent OOXML formats, once you have saved to .odt--you can conveniently also Save-as export to those non-native formats--but you'll have the original fully formatted ODF document on hand.
