OnlyOffice vs LibreOffice?
I just prefer the looks of OnlyOffice, but I have heard people having localization problems with it. For my tiny use cases it has worked good so far.
isn't onlyoffice as a service only. can it be installed as just a local application?
No it's a local application like Libre. Can also be ran in the cloud.
They offer a SaaS to pay the bills, and a standalone desktop editor suite for us Linux users
Yep, you can download their "Desktop Editors"
thanks
Yes, for instance on the iPad with a keyboard I've issues typing Latin chars. Reported multiple times, still not fixed.
So I use both for work... Libre for most things, but for spreadsheets or powerpoints that are a bit more complex, onlyoffice works/looks better.
LibreOffice does have more advanced features though if you don't need the MS Office compatibility.
The preset editing in OO really sucks compared to Libre or MS office (only desktop)
Presets as in paragraph and character presets? I didn't find them at all. In LO I can easily change existing or new presets. In MSO it's a bit more hidden but still possible. In OO I didn't find it so far, but also didn't spend too much time on it and just went back to LO.
Yep, paragraph and character presets. They are present in OO, but rather difficult to find and annoying to edit.
When I looked into it I found that onlyoffice is more of a MS office rip. Run by Russians and headquartered in Latvia.
You got any more information on this? Also, is there a point to caring if it is an intellectual property rip off and run by a particularly set of people from a particular country?
It's the interface that's a rip.
