Why can't they just sponsor libreoffice rather than start their own?
That was my first thought too. Apparently Euro-office is based on OnlyOffice. According to Nextcloud and IONOS "Libre Office is 35 years old and no longer the most innovative and fluid". For more detail: https://www.heise.de/en/news/Microsoft-alternative-Nextcloud-and-Ionos-develop-open-source-Euro-Office-11228123.html. I would like to hear what The Document Foundation thinks about this.
Well 35 years is just false, even if you count it as a continuation from StarOffice that would be 41 years, I can't work out where they got 35 from, but that's a stupid argument anyway, it's only as old as its last version, OnlyOffice lacks features. I'm not impressed by any of this.
