I get that it’s open source provided you use codium not code but I still find that interesting

    Microsoft Office suite is obviously superior to its concurrents. If it were available on linux I’d use it, despite being about FOSS ideology. Sometimes, non-FOSS can be better alternatives. However, OnlyOffice is still neat and gets the job done.

      No, and it never was. There are/were always equal alternatives. It has always been their marketing power that made them (seemingly) win.

        Whoops

        Excel is def the mkt leader for a reason

        I loathe Ms Access but have to admit there is no peer that even comes close.

        Vs code is relatively reliable, cross platform and gets the job done. When there are a lot of people “one way that works for all” is a quality as well.

        That said, I wish open offices were better. Even Apple numbers isn’t a realistic excel alt yet (though it is super decent). And I agree there are plenty of editors that work in many situations.
