Where is the government involved in this?

I was convinced that it was in cooperation with the German government funding open source software. It is not. But they are definitely aiming for the public sector.

I wish it were as reliable as libreoffice, hopefully in a future release.
Current state: libreoffice has a terrible UI but works. OnlyOffice has a great UI but only works when I don't need it urgently

What’s so terrible about LibreOffice‘s UI?

This.
I understand the point, that libreoffice dont work in the browser and online.
But the ui of libreoffice isnt bad, its "classic"

There is Collabora Office (Or the rebranded Nextcloud office) that puts a modern web interface in front of LibreOffice.
It works quite well, but since the main work is still done in the headless LibreOffice on the server it doesn't scale well to larger deployments.

To me it's less about the aesthetics and more about ergonomics. I still feel at times that the UI, specifically the toolbar, is jumbled together without much cohesion. Or that the interface has been designed to allow entering inputs to someone else's tool, rather than built for me to do what I need.
I'm sure some of it can probably be customized; I don't actually use it that much that I feel the need to tinker.

It's massively inconsistent, lacks good defaults, stuff moves around everywhere, sizing is off. It's just a grown project that lacks a serious effort to work on the UX. It's free to use of course, but I think in 2026 the standards are just different
