I found cryptpad, it seems nice. I already use NC but not for editing.
Nextcloud handles most things. I heard good things about Zetaoffice
LibreOffice, because it is local. If I want to collaborate, I’ll share the file in whatever way is most convenient for the other parties. Since most people I collaborate prefer editing locally, this works out quite well.
I moved to Proton for my cloud stuff
Don’t you find the cloud super slow or are you editing files? I’ve only tried uploading files from Linux and it was bad
Depends on what you’re doing and why.
If I’m doing something for work, I’m not wasting my time using anything other than Excel. I have shit to do.
For home stuff? Sure. I’ll mess around with anything non-proprietary.
I absolutely love Libre/FOSS, but I don’t always have time to fuck around learning new ways to skin a cat. I’ll almost always recommend proprietary solutions if that’s what you’re used to. It just makes sense. 🤷♂️
Always use the tool that’s best for the job, and sometimes that’s hot steaming piles of closed source shit.
I’m legitimately asking because I’m curious, not trying to start a flame war here…
What features are you missing in LibreOffice Calc that you use in Excel? I personally use Calc at home, but can’t get away with it a work because of imaginary numbers. (Although most things I’ve just moved to using Python + Pandas because both programs can’t handle large datasets very well)
Power query/pivot, 365 integration, stat/finance functions, forecasting models, VBA, etc.
Mainly because I use Excel for work. I don’t want to hack together a solution in the middle of my workflow with Python and other FOSS tools. I need it to just work. And Excel just works.
