Libreoffice gives more control though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 child) They look and feel fairly comparable, IMO.

I believe Onlyoffice is better at handling microsoft office documents, but hopefully that will become less relevant with this movement to get away from US products. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ripcord@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 child) I said this in another thread - but not feel like a java app with 40 years of baggage, for one. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ProdigalFrog@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 months ago* As someone who only used Onlyoffice briefly, to me they both seemed to do the same tasks about as well as each other. I didn't notice Libreoffice's age except in the settings menu. For actually just doing normal stuff, like word processing, it felt comparable, besides some minor stylistic UI polish in Onlyoffice. Are there any specific pain points in Libreoffice that you can recall that Onlyoffice does significantly better in? permalink fedilink source parent
