I’ve been testing it and it seems like a good solution for general productivity and a great option for people migrating from MS. It’s open source and cross-platform, but I just don’t see it in any conversations about office software.

For me, it’s so far leagues beyond LibreOffice. I really need something that works on my phone and syncs across devices, and allows collaboration. OnlyOffice seems to fit the bill. It’s also far more intuitive to my preferences.

I am sure that some people wouldn’t like the fact that the interface runs as a webapp, or use of Java, but it’s strange to me that it’s not usually even in the conversation.

It works ok, I don’t use it much because its a web app, so doing stuff like opening a 6000 line CSV file when I was migrating our CRM software caused it to crash/hang, or large word documents can cause it to slow down a ton.

But as a basic editor for small documents it works fine, if a bit laggy feeling for my tastes.

I use it and like it, but don’t see a need to evangelize. LibreOffice is good too.

I use it, and it works fine. OpenOffice had a massive following before the LibreOffice fork so realistically most people moved there as a default option. Doesn’t mean Only office is bad, just that many FOSS users are more likely to use its competitors.

It’s similar to only fans but instead of naked people you watch pros do excel

I see that there are a lot of cookies from their website, which is not good from a privacy perspective.
