Amen. It is so frustrating... in tech circles, it is widely known/understood for at least 2 decades, that an open file/data format is much more important than open source software. Just make ODF the mandatory file format and be done with it. (Yes, I know, old documents and the work of transforming ... but if we do not start right now, when would be a better time?)

LibreOffice seems to be badly fumbling making a web version. Euro-Office, the falling-out with collabora and other such drama all seem to be downstream of LibreOffice Online sucking and being hard to deploy.
