I try using Org-mode/Latex with pandoc, but end up using only Office for docx and PowerPoint.
I typically use libreoffice, but if I ever have the time to learn latex I’ll switch, I’ve heard nothing but good things aside from the learning curve
The learning curve is actually pretty manageable. Took me an afternoon to be good enough to create lab reports for Uni. Creating your first template takes a bit but isn’t super hard. Afterwards you can reuse that and only need to tweak.
This is the Tutorial I used. For an editor I’d suggest VSCode with LaTeX Workshop. (There’s also LTeX which is a great grammar and spelling checker)
LibreOffice, as I’ve been using it from soon after it was forked from OpenOffice and I’m used to it, and I don’t think it’s worth it to learn how to use another office suite when the one I use works fine for everything I need to do. I had tried OnlyOffice on another computer and I was positively impressed, but not quite enough to feel I should switch; in the end I only even use a small subset of the features LO has.
Libre Office user for over a decade, recently moved to OnlyOffice and liking it a lot so far. Seems to do better with MS formats than LibreOffice, snappy and responsive. UI is cleaner IMO.
Libre is still good though.
OnlyOffice, I think it has the most polished UI and the LanguageTool plugin is really handy
Mostly Markdown too, but I wouldn’t call that an “office suite”. I rarely use classic office suite software. If I have to, LibreOffice and at work I had to use — surprise — M$ Office.
I work mostly with texts, but if I need something office-y, I go old school: gnumeric for spreadsheets and abiword for documents
I use Markdown (very rarely LaTeX too) in Neovim, and LibreOffice for anything I can’t do in Markdown.
Sometimes I’ll start up the MarkdownPreview plugin I have, but typically I don’t.
If I need to share it, I’ll typically convert to PDF with pandoc or a random tool online if I can’t get pandoc to work the way I want it.
Always used and will be using LibreOffice. It just works for me.
Usually OnlyOffice though I keep LibreOffice installed as a backup as sometimes I’ve had weird compatibility issues with the former (very few and far between but still)
I recently switched to only office. I.get a lot of .docx files cos of uni, and I found only office to have the least amount of bugs. Most of the files I got were broken in libreoffice due to reasons I wish I could understand. For note taking I just simply use neovim and write in a markdown file. For presentations I do the same and use marp to generate the slides from my markdown.
Markdown for myself, Google Docs when I’m collaborating with others, and OnlyOffice after puking a little in my mouth for having received a docx or pptx by email.
Usually a Harvie&Hudson. I just go for a more casual Sexton on Fridays.
Latex on VSCode for personal things or otherwise Overleaf for collab. Otherwise default to google docs/Librr Office
WPS Office for editing office files. LaTeX for writing articles. Emacs for everything else.
LibreOffice, I came for Linux support and PDF export… and stayed for the only Office that I know how to use 😄
This is pretty much me also!
IDK if I’d describe myself as a libreoffice “power user” but trying to figure out how things work in other suites is a pain.
Yeah this. And the #1 reason is probably that it is automatically shipped with the distro so the choice is made for me. I don’t use office suites much for personal use though. At work I have to use the MS stuff (also a small percentage of the time) but at home LO seems more than sufficient.
