“Given the breadth of interest in free personal productivity applications and the rapid evolution of personal computing technologies, we believe the project would be best managed by an organization focused on serving that broad constituency on a noncommercial basis,” said Edward Screven, Oracle’s chief corporate architect. The details about when the move will occur, and why Oracle is making this unexpected change, were not available. While Oracle will stop selling a commercial version of OpenOffice, the company intends to continue working with the community on development.
will be moving to a purely community-based open-source project, Oracle said April 15. I haven't had time to try out all the features and hence I want community suggestions.Oracle is relinquishing its tight control over, the popular office software suite, and will no longer offer a commercial version. Google Suite: Perfect for university students (me), good development but lacks many features. Microsoft Office Online: nice offering but is slow and sluggish (are they using asp?), lacks many features (I can't even draw a line). OnlyOffice: Web version + desktop + cloud solution available, decent compatibility with MS, mature?, new in the market. FreeOffice: The best office suite after LibreOffice, not open source, good compatibility with MS, mature project,.Gnome Office (Abiword, Gnumeric, Dia): Is is still a thing?.CalligraOffice: Actually KOffice, doesn't even come close to LibreOffice, slow development, difficult to switch for naive user.WPS Office: Pretty advanced alternative to MS suite, not open source, a mature project but seems not maintained.Apache OpenOffice: Discontinued, let's not mention it at all.LibreOffice: Standard office suite for Linux, it just works, not very good support for docx, classic UI (new ribbon interface doesn't make it modern), better than online suites.I tried these office suites currently offered on Linux ( bold are my best bet), I must say, both of these in-browser tools are nice but still don't come close to what LibreOffice has to offer (I have come across situations where I had to use LibreOffice because either of the other two didn't have the feature). Recently I switched to Office online like Microsoft suite and Google suite.
I have been using LibreOffice for past 2 years, hated it all the time because of the UI not being modern as compared to MS (not icons but simplistic design).
