Since migrating away from big tech platforms (including Google Drive) I have been using Libreoffice for my writing and presentations.
I often get asked why I do not use OnlyOffice since it looks so much better (especially the web client). Two answers:
- The presentation tools of OnlyOffice are too barebones
But more importantly:
OnlyOffice is a company that seems to be controlled by a Russian guy who invests a lot of time to hide the fact that OnlyOffice is Russian (see https://www.collaboraonline.com/comparing-collabora-with-onlyoffice/#Ownership and https://forum.cryptpad.org/d/232-onlyoffice-concerns-vendor-makes-shady-moves ).
As things are currently I do not rely on Russian service or software providers. So that's why.
