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.
It’s a battle they are going to lose in the long run. When you write closed sourge code, you make a bet that you’re better than all available FOSS developers in the field.
Didn’t Excel make a big fuss about python integration when Libreoofice has had that for years?
Ohh can you do Exel-Style arithmetics in Word tables? You can in LibreOffice.
Maybe it’s just so widely used no one really knows other Office programs are basically on par with MS Office or even better.
Kind of the conclusion I’d come to.
Would you use excel if it were on Linux? It’s one of the other few Microsoft products I think is actually pretty good.
Obviously not foss but still

LibreOffice UI is really… well… old. UX is really bad : it’s on par with GIMP’s ideology of “make it as hard as possible to get things done”
You know there are like 7 different layouts built in and you can create custom ones. You can even make it look like world if you like.
