Despite the name, OnlyOffice has no connection with LibreOffice's ancestor, the Apache Foundation's OnlyOffice

It pisses me off when tech journalists don't bother to double check with a simple web search. Don't even need to actually search, just type in the search bar "apache foundation o" and it autocompletes in "apache foundation OpenOffice"

    OnlyOffice is a much more polished and mature suite than LibreOffice.

    Is it really, or is it just a matter of interface?

    It is actually better in rendering Microsoft office files with weird layouts

    Also it integrates wonderfully in nextcloud, it's like Google docs (auto save, history, collaborative editing)
