- dabockster 10mo agoI want viable alternatives too. But Microsoft's stuff accounts for a million+ edge cases that you don't really encounter until you're neck deep into whatever you're working on. For the sake of conversation, though, there's SoftMaker Office: https://www.softmaker.com/en/products/softmaker-office https://www.softmaker.com/en/products/softmaker-office But they're a subscription too. You save only $20 a year for less features than Office 365 as well (especially the lack of an email program). For most people, that savings and "no Microsoft" isn't enough. > LibreOffice No.
