There is a difference between "cloud-hosting" (= storing your documents on other people's computers) and "collaborative editing" (= working on the same file at the same time).

I still use it as forums. That's what it can do best.

Then why can SoftMaker support it well and LibreOffice can't?

But MS doesn’t even keep to that standard anymore.

To be fair, LibreOffice had (don't know if it still has!) problems rendering OpenOffice .odt files in the past.

How is it Microsoft's fault that the LibreOffice team fails to properly support its formats? Others can do it.

There are still a few issues left to fix in my experience.

There is Office software that can handle Microsoft formats better than other Office software. Still, Microsoft's file formats are open.

Honest answer: People who would create spreadsheets for themselves.

Formats aren't compatible. Parsers are.

However, in direct comparison with SoftMaker Office (which, admittedly, is not free software), LibreOffice is inconsistent, sluggish, unstable and less compatible with Microsoft formats.

I wish Usenet wasn‘t misunderstood as a file sharing network anymore.

They’re getting there.

Depends on the task. SVN or Fossil (if you need a web interface) for cathedral-style, Mercurial for bazaar-style, I’d say. Especially because of their easy to understand UX.

1. Git is for bazaar-style development. However, most of my own projects are cathedral-style.
2. Git’s default user experience (CLI command syntax, for example) is weird. There are reasons why Git GUIs are popular and (e.g.) SVN GUIs never were.
3. Git is rather spammy in terms of hard disk usage.

There are better backends though.

Both suck

No

I thought they had stopped development? Have t checked them in a decade.

I imagine Gimp users revolting if it ever improves a lot.
