It's horrible, incompatible, sluggish, slow and resources hog. Very bad UX. OnlyOffice is leaps and bounds better.

Yea, for example I want to use librecalc more but it only vertically scrolls by column and not smoothly. It's intolerably annoying to me. I cant figure out if there's any way to have smooth vertical scroll but so far no. Never heard of onlyoffice thanks I will check it out.

  all the version of Microsoft office formats. Broken Formatting Broken Layouts Sometimes entirely broken.

I agree with it (at least Calc, which is what I use most) being sluggish and having bad UX. But it’s free (with a donation option I use). LibreOffice could do with some polish.

Hi there. Article author here. > Very bad UX. I disagree. I think it is _much_ better than most rivals such as OnlyOffice, WPS Office, and of course MS Office itself since 2007. > OnlyOffice is leaps and bounds better. It's years since I wrote about it. https://www.theregister.com/2023/02/21/onlyoffice_7_3_and_wps_11/ https://www.theregister.com/2023/02/21/onlyoffice_7_3_and_wp... But I not only disagree, I strongly and vehemently disagree. I am not saying you are wrong to like what you like; you do you. I'm saying I personally despise ribbon-based UIs; I find them unusable. I want the choice. MS and WPS do not give that. I can't even remember if OnlyOffice does but I don't think so. It is very important to always remember that "what I like" is not the same as "what is best".

  you can disagree all you want , that is experience from our tests and based off from all the complaints from my clients (50 users) back in 2022 . OnlyOffice had become daily drivers for us and it is leaps and bounds better in Terms of Performance , Ease of Use and Compatibility with office formats. Very simple formatting could break and LibreOffice refuse to fix those but blames Microsoft for the format changes - that is deal breaker for us.
