OnlyOffice? The fuck is that?

Looks

Repackaged open source payware trash.

LibreOffice works just fine without having yet another third party dev pilfering it to make it their bankroll. They've seemingly built an entire ecosystem with resellers and all trying to FUD themselves into a claim of being more compatible with MS doc formats than LibreOffice.

Support LibreOffice development instead.

Or...

Just pay for MS Office if you have document compatibility concerns.

OnlyOffice is amazing if you need compatibility with MS Office products. Not saying it's perfect, and I have and use LibreOffice, but OnlyOffice is better fit than LibreOffice if your goal is to use MSOffice files in FOSS software. I don't get to decide what files and software my school or work uses, and they use only MSOffice. If I hand my boss or coworker an ODS, they'll have no clue what to do with it. LibreOffice doesn't handle XLSX files nearly as cleanly as OnlyOffice.

If I make a table in LibreOffice, even using their open formats, I am giving up some nice features from OpenOffice.

There's no way OO is just a cheap repackage of LO. They look very different and have different features.
