    I dont understand why collabora and libreoffice don’t work together. Why compete? And what is this onlyoffice fork? Why not work with libreoffice instead? There could be a massive effort going into libreoffice but somehow everybody’s going their own way. It makes it so easy for Microslop

      The one explanation I’ve heard is that the EU has fallen for the “if code is older than three months old and not in Rust it’s dead” meme, something something about codebases presumably suffering from code rot.

      Do I believe it? Not a chance. EU legislators and stuff barely understand anything about code.

    OnlyOffice has so many missing features but it is the one that is closest to actual Microsoft office for me and my wife. Libre isn’t even close. If next cloud can fix all the missing features then they have my support.

      Like what? I find Libre has more features it just isn’t as pretty.
