Alternative to Microsoft Office?

Question

Microsoft Office

Good afternoon
I would like to know what office software packages are used by Khobrav residents?
I ask the question not for the sake of idle interest, but out of necessity, now I use Open Office - but to be honest, I'm not entirely satisfied with it. Especially the work of Open Office with tables, the interface is not very frequent and there are problems with encoding and recognition of third-party formats.
I don't want to install Microsoft Office. I tried Google docs, but as a full-fledged editor it is not yet convenient to use.
So I ask for recommendations, proven by experience.

Answer 1

See what you are using for.
From my own experience: I do all documents for work, including simple tables, in Google Docs, my wife makes various presentations and text documents in LibreOffice

Answer 2

Try LibreOffice : this fork of OpenOffice is said to have outperformed its parent.

Answer 3

There is a good solution from IBM : documents, spreadsheets, presentations.

Answer 4

LibreOffice really coped with all the formats and encodings that Open Office did not understand at all.
Thanks for the advice.

Answer 5

I don’t want to start holivars, here the taste and color of all felt-tip pens are different. But my experience is that simple documents (in fact, complex ones are also great, such as a diploma\presentation\report) are perfectly typeset in Vim\Emacs\Sublime Text+TeX, you can also make high-quality presentations there, for example, using the Beamer class.
The popular editors Vim, Emacs, Sublime Text generally have good support for working with text. My personal experience tells me that the time spent on the transition pays off.
If according to the tables, then Libre, Open seem to be still very raw (the last time I used it was about a year and a half ago), and Lotus is very bulky and unfriendly. I switched to Google Docs and for simple things it is more than enough. Works stably and quite intuitively.

Answer 6

Regarding Google Docs, I agree.
But unfortunately, I often have to prepare reports for clients or analyze data, import and export tables to various online services, and through Google Docs I have to constantly download and upload the same file. All this, of course, simplifies Google Drive a little, but the solution is still not very good. Plus, I'm used to the fact that office software is a separate window, not a tab in the browser.
