European tech firms will ship the first stable release of Euro-Office next month, giving governments and businesses worldwide a ready-to-run, sovereign alternative to Microsoft Office and Google Docs.
I imagine Onlyoffice’s settings menu is better (I’m not a fan of Libreoffice’s settings), but for average use, what areas does Onlyoffice do better UX-wise? I believe Onlyoffice is better at handling microsoft office documents, but hopefully that will become less relevant with this movement to get away from US products.
As someone who only used Onlyoffice briefly, to me they both seemed to do the same tasks about as well as each other. I didn’t notice Libreoffice’s age except in the settings menu. For actually just doing normal stuff, like word processing, it felt comparable, besides some minor stylistic UI polish in Onlyoffice.
Are there any specific pain points in Libreoffice that you can recall that Onlyoffice does significantly better in?
LibreOffice still includes some Java code, which creates performance bottlenecks. And, as u/Hawke points out, OnlyOffice and Euro-Office are web/cloud based, enabling better collaboration and more dependable access and storage.
LibreOffice: “Am I a joke to you? Actually, don’t answer that.”
Onlyoffice and libreoffice’s interfaces are night and day. Libreoffice gives more control though.
They look and feel fairly comparable, IMO.
Onlyoffice
Libreoffice
I promise you they do not feel the same.

I said this in another thread - but not feel like a java app with 40 years of baggage, for one.

what’s wrong with librewolf
Nnnothing?
It’s not connected to LibreOffice in any way, though, aside from the first five letters of their names.
ohh shit I’m stoned

nice, thank you!
I prefer running local, so I guess I’ll stick with libreoffice
I think the difference is that this is web-based like Google Docs.
But what about Airwolf then?
