Despite the name, OnlyOffice has no connection with LibreOffice's ancestor, the Apache Foundation's OnlyOffice

It pisses me off when tech journalists don't bother to double check with a simple web search. Don't even need to actually search, just type in the search bar "apache foundation o" and it autocompletes in "apache foundation OpenOffice"

It could be worse:
Apache Foundation's OnlyFans

why reinvent the wheel when we have LibreOffice already

[–] rnkn@lemmy.world 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

OnlyOffice is a much more polished and mature suite than LibreOffice.

Is it really, or is it just a matter of interface?

It is actually better in rendering Microsoft office files with weird layouts

Also it integrates wonderfully in nextcloud, it's like Google docs (auto save, history, collaborative editing)

I see. Their focus does seem to be on microsoft compatibility, although pushing odf would be more sensible in Europe.
