It’s going to be much more modern and is to ship with most of the comfort Microsoft Office has. Euro-Office is a reviewed and improved OnlyOffice (a Russian project) fork. It was forked to avoid potential Russian influence on it. The first stable version will be available from June 9th 2026, next week. Not finished yet, though.
I tried using LibreOffice Calc when I was working on my OSCP and some of the basic functionality was so broken it was almost laughable. I think my text was pasting in as an image sometimes? I forget the exact details but it was unusable for my purposes and I decided to try again in a few years.

Except libreoffice is pretty crap. Especially their spreadsheet program.
They’re looking to optimize the project for collaborative working, browsers and smartphones. I reckon the UI might see some modernization, as well.
