LibreOffice is an awesome piece of kit! On setup, they let you select the “tabbed” UI if you prefer something closer to MS office.
Collabora Office is another one that seems neat, have not used it before though. OnlyOffice has weird Russian ties and GPL incompatible licensing shenanigans, I would avoid them for the most part. WPS Office has the best compatibility with MS Office files on Linux I think, but it’s closed-source so not great either. There’s always running a VM / dual booting if you must use MS Office.
Honestly, MS office files have worked fine on LibreOffice, the only big issue I’ve found is that translucent images are a little broken when going from Impress to PowerPoint (all images share the same opacity for some reason?)
The clone is perfect though, vibe coded or not: as it doesn’t work it’s obviously a 1:1 copy that’s just accurately mimicking the original…
Man that sentence was hard for me to parse – browsing threadiverse too early in the tye morning
We love you, Libre Office devs!
I’m 100% all in on Libre Office. I’ll use Libre Office until it dies or I die
LibreOffice has the ability to use regex in search&replace, MS Office does not. So why should i use a copy of the inferior product?
99% of people using office products daily will die not knowing how to formulate a regular expression.

True.
Regex save lives
It’s the difference between knowing how to market and knowing how to actually build shit.
Turns out, in our modern society, the former is a far more valuable skill than the latter.
Just bullshit your way until you get enough money and resources to actually hire people who know what they’re doing and can build the thing.
It sucks

Has this ever happened? I though the way to go was enshittification of an already inferior product
Blitzscaling. The enshittification comes once the userbase is stable and the company can’t keep bullshitting investors about possible future gains so they have to start cutting.
One guy I used to work with (long before LLMs) built a website for his company and listed a bunch of software there for sale. Except he hadn’t built any software product yet. Once someone contacted him about buying one of the products, then he would build it.
