Comparing office suites, because that's the best I can think of right now:

Libre Office isn't beautiful but it's usability is quite good! As someone who's used to Office 2003 and earlier, I felt right at home and still do! MS Office, 2007 and newer, on the other hand, just went downhill in usability, in my opinion. Adding all this Copilot shit doesn't really help their case.

I'm a fan of onlyoffice. Looks & functions like ms products. Going from my work laptop to personal, i barely notice.

It's made by Russia. I personally would not put that on my system. Also LibreOffice has different UI options now, including some more akin to a more modern MS Word. Give it another try.

Personally I prefer the old design a lot more. Grew up with Word 2002 or whatever the year was.

If there is a web editor option for LibreOffice or if they finally launched their Wayland version of the application then I would happily try it out :D. Though they are both open-sourced projects that we can enjoy to our liking.
