Speaking for myself, its cause I'm really hoping to find something better. Google Docs and Libre Office get me by, but I don't use office softwaere as much these days as I used to. Still, it would be nice if there was something out there SUPERIOR to MS Office. Well I guess there's Emacs, but I'm still learning :)

Does it come with AI integration yet to help me write things and solve budgets and so on? Can I generate images directly within onlyoffice yet? Can I search for images directly within onlyoffice to use in documents and presentations? Can I insert audio into presentations yet? My point is that for some people, these apps might be enough. But both Microsoft 365 and Google Docs now have features that make the other ones seem old and dated by comparison. And for most people, time is money. If I can cut my time in half by using Microsoft 365 or Google Docs, I'll just use either of these tools.

​@@MrDonCoyoteYup, that's the case. Normal users can do with alternatives, professionals need pro stuff which is especially tailored with their use case in mind. I like google docs and have been using it for many years, but I can easily shift to libre or other alternatives because I am a basic user. And another thing, if MS office came to Linux, many people would use it.

I've found this strange because as a corporate accountant for 30+ years I've had a lot to do with very complex Excel type workbooks and I've not had problems with open source offerings on Linux or Windows. In fact Gnumeric saved me a lot of hassle when our standard SOE version of Excel would not open Excel workbooks created by a tax consultant using a newer version of Excel. I didn't have time to go through the whole process of requesting an updated version of Office suite, waiting a month or more for approval and installation only then for it to be incompatible with the suite used by my other colleges. I picked up a Portable Apps version of the latest Gnumeric and found that it worked fine and I could get my work done and that file then went back and forth between the tax consultant and me with no problems. I often wonder what people are doing with Excel that makes the FOSS office suites, and the spreadsheeting in particular, unsuitable for them. Perhaps macros but I've never needed to use macros professionally and they were totally banned at work because of the vulnerabilities they introduce.

nice review. for me working with data is usually where I hit learning points. graphing and pivot tables... Excel is pretty hard to beat for data but.. I'm still looking macros are the heart of business. automation for repeatability is a massive time and money saver. so while they are an attack vector... they are no different to other ones. people use python, powershell now and many other languages that rely on 3rd party bits - so they are just as if not more exposed. kind of like perl in the old days.

Something that would improve a lot the Linux Office experience would be some integration with Office 365 from Microsoft. For example, Gnome already maps the OneDrive library, if it went further and opened office files directly in the browser version of Excel/Word, it would seamless work as a native office that relies in internet.

Better something I can quietly SSH into and manage remotely without having to disturb him.

@@MichaelNROH I'm also an accountant (retired) and was for 40+ years. I use Debian but that's not really significant. It is the compatibility of the office suite that you use with your existing workflow that matters. Most of these office suites will run on Windows so they can be tried out before committing to either an office suite or Linux if you like. You can also use more than one office suite or application if you find compatibility for some tasks better in one than another. These days, I use Gnumeric for most personal spreadsheeting as it's small and efficient. However, I use Libre Office when I need to fiddle with .xls? files. Actually Gnumeric saved my bacon at work when a tax consultant and I had to exchange an enormous data file during an acquisition transaction. Our standard and old version of MS Excel couldn't handle the newer version file created by the consultant and it would have taken ages to get approval for, purchase of and installation of the upgraded Office - which then would have broken my compatibility with colleges. So I just used an up to date Portable Apps version of Gnumeric which handled the file going back and forth without problems - no broken compatibility issues.

MS Office is kind of unavoidable if you really do word/Excel on a daily basis. Excel in particular is tough to let go! So, most of us who ditch MS Office (and more often than not, come back to it) are in some sort of niche.

I only have one question here - does anyone know a fair alternative to Excel .... yeah, not just a spreadsheet - anyone can do that, but - graph's with trendlines and choice of type of trendlines, change the color of the graph and trendline easy - I mean real easy, change the type/function of the trendline in 2 second and not rewrite the function and reselect the dataset. I use the MS off. suite 4 hours every day - 90% of the work is in Excel, I have tried Libreoffice and even after building the functions I wouldn't be able to do my daily job in 8 hours. Show me an alternative spreadsheet for Linux that would help me do the job in just 5 hours and I would take it. It seems that programmers of office suites is not heavy users of the same suites and they do not try to listen to the users - sorry I would rather have a VM running win7 and off.03 (because that is actually the best excel for graphs) than any of the alternatives you have mentioned here. Then there is the problem of making absolut error free pdf's. I am responsible for printing posters produced in any suitable "tool". MS learned its lesson back when they thought they could make their own interpretation of PDF, as they thought with HTML, but Adobe called them back in line so out of more than a thousand poster pdf's I have zero error. I have at least 3 out of 10 pdf's with errors that make them unprintable if they are made with linux based tools. If they are pulled into Powerpoint and converted to pdf the are error free. And what do I open the pdf's with - the standard "stick" Adobe Acrobat - Adobe OWNs pdf, their "word" on pdf is law, so if they say there is an error - then there is an error. You can hate Adobe for many things - but their PDF is saving millions of work hours worldwide every day

The fix here is just using .odf instead of .docx. Many don't understand, that the open formats are the better choice when collaborating with others.

I just need 3 things to move away from ms office and all are excel related ): 1) macro API: ok, I can learn a new language, but every program uses its own standard, some use python, others use a vb variant, even js, though excel today also has a js api. 2) the not that new matrix formulas: the `#` notation in excel formulas is amazing and it maintains me away from macros in terms o calculations. 3) dynamic tables (not pivot tables). 4) power query. I know, those are 4 points, but 1) and 2) are mutually exclusive
@dingokidneys
@dingokidneys 24 дня назад
Professional corporate accountant for 40+ years: daily user of complex spreadsheets (Lotus 1-2-3, Quattro Pro, and Excel). I've never had to use macros nor wanted to. Plus work banned them as obvious vulnerabilities. On the other hand, Python is a skill you can use outside of a spreadsheet. I've used matrix formulae in LibreOffice and Gnumeric. They are probably available in other office suites. If I understand correctly, the '#' style of cell reference in named tables has been obsolete for years now. Dynamic tables and power query were only just coming in when I retired but I'd never needed them. I used databases (Access and links to SQL databases) a whole lot for big data management rather than Excel. If you stick exclusively to what you already know, you are really missing out.

@@dingokidneys I'm not that sure about your tone, so I'll go the funny way: Yeah, your cock is bigger. Congrats. Surely it is as big as the amount of additional time you take to do the same stuff that I do in no time. If you don't want to work with newer tools, then you must be proud of doing everything the old hard way. I hope you make use of assembler as well, because even I know it, but I know when to use it. Did you work alone? Did you work with tech savvy people? Well, I don't. We don't even have access to SQL like tools, they're banned. Luckily I can use macros. Of course, I could use python outside, but then I couldn't enjoy the office api as much as I do and I'd get a lot of boilerplate. Are your matrices old fashion ctrl+shift+enter? I hope you didn't work with dynamic ranges. What a pain and waste of time and resources it would be today. The `#` is not for named tables. What it does is to automatically detect ranges derived from 1 cell formulas that can spread to more cells. For example, if you write in cell `A1` the formula `= MAP(range_of_cells)`, where `range_of_cells` is a 2x3 matrix, you'll get a new 2x3 matrix, which can be referenced as A1# from other formula. If A1 changes its amount of cells it spreads to, let's say, to a 6x3 matrix, you don't need to update your last formula, because `#` makes it for you, so you don't have to care about boundaries anymore. There are a large amount of new behaviors which change the way you use excel in comparison with other spreadsheet apps, and they've been around from 2017 at least. You've missed a lot. Do you still have fun with lotus? Sorry, I'm just 29, but also I'm fixing old buggy style spreadsheets from people "40+ experience" all day long. Please, just use power query.
