OnlyOffice has better compatibility with Microsoft Office formats in most cases.

LibreOffice has been developed with Open Document Format as its first-class citizen. In my experience, it can't render the layout correctly for most docx forms created with tables.

I'm sure you're right. Has not been an issue for us at all though. Probably because we are not really dealing with documents very much.

Depends when you got used to office probably. To me Libreoffice looks more like office than office does nowadays.

To me, Abiword was the best clone of the best version of Word. To bad it is more or less abandonware.

That reminds me of switching to sublime's parser wrt a huge MySQL file, that was a while back though 2019 I think

Yeah, it looks more like post-2007 Office with the Ribbon; LibreOffice, like its predecessors, looks more like classical Office 95/97.
