@scottalanmiller looks like you did my job here :smiling_face:
That's right ONLYOFFICE uses OOXML (docx, xlsx, pptx) as core formats and is aimed at replacing MS Office. We work with ODF using conversion.
I need to give this a try to see if it could provide a drop in replacement for Office 2016... The last time I tried, OpenOffice - I think - it messed with formatting so badly that management said it wasn't worth the headache of fixing all their files to look good in another product.
OpenOffice was a LONG time ago, LibreOffice split off and has been the leader in that space since 2010. That's basically a decade. LibreOffice for many years has been way, way better at formatting MS Office documents. Still not perfect, but nothing like it used to be in the OpenOffice era.
But being ODT native, using it for MS Office files presents natural challenges. OnlyOffice would be the obvious choice to test out. I'd be very interested to hear how it goes.

The last time I used "Libreoffice" was back when OpenOffice was a thing

It's what I use when I need to do something. I'm no professional, so it more than meets my needs.

Been quite good for a long time. But still hard to use.

Anything that can do all that stuff is going to be complicated to learn. Photoshop is just as hard to learn.

I used to set up WPS for clients who were used to the ribbon interface because LibreOffice didn't have one. I haven't used it for a long time but it seemed to work fine.
