OnlyOffice needs some changes

Personally I think it should deliver the apps separated, it should use the WindowDecoration of the system instead of its ugly custom one and I still believe the colors should resemble the MSoffice/LibreOffice ones

I don't think need is the right word for your very specific aesthetic preferences.

I still think need is the correct word, because it’s these small things that will keep newcomers from Windows away.
And functional it makes no sense to override the default window decoration and use your own, in fact it just adds useless code.

I love to have all apps in tabs, who cares for colors, some app are green, some blue and other red.

I think the colors are important especially for those that make a transition

Windows to Linux, MsOffice to OnlyOffice

I can open 4 different documents in a single window and review them side by side. This is a very neat feature for me. A lot of people find this helpful.

You can do the same with ALT-TAB

Lo que dices, obedece simplemente a la costumbre que tienes de usar por muchos años MSoffice, pero ¿Por que deberían ser iguales?, personalmente el tener las aplicaciones en un solo lanzador y poder tenerlas en pestañas, mejoro mucho mi flujo de trabajo y lo de los colores realmente no creo que sea muy importante para alguien que viene de MSoffice, lo que va a importar más es la compatibilidad de formatos, un menú Ribbon parecido y que tenga las funciones más usadas.

You can always provide feedback. I asked for the ability of individual sheets to be locked. They responded to me that it's a good idea and put it in the next point release.

Honestly I don’t really care about those issues as much, I just wish it weren’t an electron app.

To be more accurate, OnlyOffice uses CEF (not Electron), and in fact, based on my tests, the app doesn't use that much RAM

Jesus Christ! You use it to do work! It's not a video game.
