New Update ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors available for Windows, Linux and macOS

I guess it depends. Is the "dark sheets" feature that important to you? (It's not for me; it's more annoying than anything else) OnlyOffice is very good, as is softmaker office. I tend to think OnlyOffice is geared towards online collaboration and is not desktop-only. You'll often see OnlyOffice one business and Nextcloud platforms. Desktop users are an afterthought. That being said, Softmaker office is made for standalone users. It's very good at what it aims to do, which is to offer near perfectly compatibility with MS Office. If you're considering Softmaker Office, why not consider Ashampoo Office? The same company makes both titles, and they are essentially identical, except that Softmaker Office has integrated AI and a monthly fee.

How compatible is OnlyOffice with Microsoft Office?

Just installed today for the first time; created a docx file and opened it by online MS Word; very good, no difference between both.
Of course, OnlyOffice is limited in features, but for those who only need to view files, it is more than enough with smaller install size compared to MS office 2024.

MS Office 2024 does. I use it all the time. Libreoffice does too.

Regarding LibreOffice, it does not also, but you can choose page background color for all of its components; did not use LibreOffice for a while, might got some new features.
