This is not to be confused with the application called "OneNote", that's staying.

You can always trust Microsoft to make two version of the same application and to have really bad naming.

I got so sick of their shit. I think there were two Teams and Skype versions too. Wtf is their problem?? I just stick with LibreOffice for everything now, but eyeing OnlyOffice because of their cloud service.

~~OpenOffice is unmaintained, unfortunately (see the LibreOffice page explaining this); LibreOffice considers officially hosting a cloud service out of their scope but~~ Collabora does provide hosting (and you can self-host, of course). Their "Development Edition" is the free version that doesn't come with an SLA.

edit: I can't read

ONLYOFFICE ≠ OpenOffice

... oh damn, I didn't catch that at all. First time hearing about them. (looks like the all caps thing is canonical too)

I guess they're completely unaffiliated with LibreOffice? looks like their product is intended to feel as close to Microsoft as possible

Maybe that's why they picked a name really easy to mistake for another office software suite, to mimic Microsoft's atrocious naming schemes :P
