I know the Linux community loves LibreOffice but OnlyOffice is just waaaay more user friendly overall, and the ability to have all the office suites in one window is wonderful. It's become standard for me to replace LibreOffice with this as soon as I install a distro.
It doesn't support RTL languages.
Agreed, looks much more polished (and fast). It's a shame, tho, as I want LO to succeed. But it may be so cumbersome at times...
My only complaint with OnlyOffice is that it's so insanely slow. Navigating the UI feels like it's running at 20fps or something. And loading up large excel sheets with thousands of rows often straight up crashes the program, or at least causes it to lag a huge amount when scrolling.
It's like this on my 2 PCs and my work PC too, even my gaming desktop which is more than capable of running a basic program like spreadsheets.
Libreoffice on the other hand is really fast, it's a breeze to work in. I also find the toolbar system in Libreoffice to be much easier to use when finding stuff like formulas or formatting functions.
manjaro introduced me to onlyoffice awhile back. i've since switched everything over to it except for one system that still has an old promo nfr office pro on it (for the rare times i specifically need it). i just have to remember to reconfigure new installs for Unstandard States of America (inches default, us letter default, default tabs to 0.5in)-only takes a minute or so.
I have too many issues with Onlyoffice. One is that it has not that many features compared to Libreoffice or Word.
Second issue, it has way too many bugs compared to the other two.
