I've been testing it and it seems like a good solution for general productivity and a great option for people migrating from MS. It's open source and cross-platform, but I just don't see it in any conversations about office software.

For me, it's so far leagues beyond LibreOffice. I really need something that works on my phone and syncs across devices, and allows collaboration. OnlyOffice seems to fit the bill. It's also far more intuitive to my preferences.

I am sure that some people wouldn't like the fact that the interface runs as a webapp, or use of Java, but it's strange to me that it's not usually even in the conversation.

It’s developed by a Russian owned company (Ascensio System SIA).

My hot take: of it's open source and they don't receive money from me, I don't really care.

Until you work with anything that might be of interest to Russian services (Ukrainian refugees in EU in my case).

Or you work in a field where national security is of any concern.
