Word, powerpoint, Teams... can't all these just run in the browser now? Why futz with Libreoffice?


Consider a future where Microsoft will eventually build co-pilot for office documents based on all the crap stored in office applications/onedrive.


Consider a present where lawyers just need to get their work done


Luckily both can be done without Microsoft, eh?


I think the online version of Microsoft Office is not as feature-complete as the offline one. That, and performance is surely worse on large documents.


No, thank you. I prefer emulated Windows native apps over web apps, and that's despite virtualisation and seamless app delivery being a giant pain in the ass for as long as I can remember. Web apps have worse latency and feature sets even if they didn't have a worse resource consumption.
