Microsoft Office suite is obviously superior to its concurrents. If it were available on linux I’d use it, despite being about FOSS ideology. Sometimes, non-FOSS can be better alternatives. However, OnlyOffice is still neat and gets the job done.
It’s a battle they are going to lose in the long run. When you write closed sourge code, you make a bet that you’re better than all available FOSS developers in the field.
Didn’t Excel make a big fuss about python integration when Libreoofice has had that for years?
Ohh can you do Exel-Style arithmetics in Word tables? You can in LibreOffice.
Maybe it’s just so widely used no one really knows other Office programs are basically on par with MS Office or even better.
I disagree. I actually like the LibreOffice, non-tabbed, UI. It’s a UI/UX that I’m used to from Office 2003 and honestly prefer. The 2007+ ribbon interface makes things harder for me to find.
Like I’m used to GIMP and can’t do shit in photoshop. That doesn’t mean the UX is good though, just that you got used to it and are not willing to change.

No, and it never was. There are/were always equal alternatives. It has always been their marketing power that made them (seemingly) win.

LibreOffice UI is really… well… old. UX is really bad : it’s on par with GIMP’s ideology of “make it as hard as possible to get things done”

You know there are like 7 different layouts built in and you can create custom ones. You can even make it look like world if you like.
I would use Markdown editors for literally all office tasks if I could.
