Those are some nice improvements! Especially this one:
Creating new files is faster by up to 15%, opening normal files by up to 20%, and opening large files by up to 15%.
I don’t like how they basically are trying to make a office365 clone. They should so there own thing.
This is it’s strength in my opinion. Libre isn’t great if you just want it to work coming from a Windows environment. I’ve tried quite a few options and this was my go to, it had far more of a friendly time with Word documents then Libre or others. Although I will say W3 was probably nicest but their sketch past of looking at people files and their local laws made me delist from my comparison list.
That’s a plus for getting more users though, people can easily switch to something familiar.
Do you have any examples of things they could try or implement?
A better UI and color scheme
Nice, I’m sure that adding a theming system would be do able. What type of interface do you think would work better than what it currently has?
Anyone have experience with this? I just moved off windows to Linux and I haven’t settled on an Office replacement yet.
I don’t gave a lot of use of it in my personal life, but I did switch from LibreOffice over to OnlyOffice and have been happy with it. The interface feels relatively modern and logically laid out. My spreadsheets tend to be basic tracking sheets and I haven’t made a written document file in ages, but for my modest needs, OnlyOffice is a clear winner.
I use it in my nextcloud. I really like it. I tried to use libreoffice, but I didn’t like it.
I’m a heavy user of spreadsheets and in my experience OnlyOffice is inadequate in features, it’s slow, sluggish, and crashes whenever you try to open anything big. I’m surprised it gets so much attention and I can only assume it’s used by people who don’t do any really heavy-duty work with it. LibreOffice is full-featured and is what I’ve been using for years, I’m very happy with it.
Also have a look at SoftMaker FreeOffice. The older 32-bit versions have worked well for me in the past.
A major problem with SoftMaker is that the equation editor does not work on Linux (and macOS)
Bit buggy printing and slower than shit to load. But once it’s loaded it generally works OK. A better one is WPS Office, but it’s Chinese and proprietary, though free (as in beer). LibreOffice is meh and printing doesn’t work great on it either.
I personally don’t, but a friend told me it’s his choice for his pop os laptop when he has to work with clients who use Microsoft products. Sounds like it has the best comparability, in his opinion.

I wonder if this will fix it crashing when opening large excel files. I don’t use OnlyOffice much because it’s so slow.
Is this for the community edition?
