I try using Org-mode/Latex with pandoc, but end up using only Office for docx and PowerPoint.

    Markdown for myself, Google Docs when I’m collaborating with others, and OnlyOffice after puking a little in my mouth for having received a docx or pptx by email.

    I’d say 95% Markdown + Pandoc for when I make documents. The other 5% is LibreOffice.

    When it comes time to make graphs and charts I really like wasting my time so I always try out something new (or old) to get the job done. Last time I used Pygal.

    When it comes to dealing with docs from colleagues, it is all LibreOffice and Zathura.

    I use Markdown (very rarely LaTeX too) in Neovim, and LibreOffice for anything I can’t do in Markdown.

    Sometimes I’ll start up the MarkdownPreview plugin I have, but typically I don’t.

    If I need to share it, I’ll typically convert to PDF with pandoc or a random tool online if I can’t get pandoc to work the way I want it.

    Depends on the use case. For my own stuff I usually use LibreOffice, for docx compability I use OnlyOffice and for presentations I use Latex with TexStudio.

    I’m quite happy with libreoffice.

    It can be a piece of crap sometimes but less so than MS Office.

    With LO I have a passionate love-hate relationship.

    LibreOffice, I came for Linux support and PDF export… and stayed for the only Office that I know how to use 😄

    Libre Office user for over a decade, recently moved to OnlyOffice and liking it a lot so far. Seems to do better with MS formats than LibreOffice, snappy and responsive. UI is cleaner IMO.

    Libre is still good though.

    99.9% of customers use Microsoft Office, so I have QEMU windows for this purpose.
    For own work/at home I find I mostly get by with textfiles/markdown and odd LibreOffice spreadsheet.

      Why QEMU? I’ve found it’s performance an compatibility quite lacking compared to VirtualBox, or since you’re using it anyway to run nonfree software: commercial products like VMware Player/Workstation

    Latex on VSCode for personal things or otherwise Overleaf for collab. Otherwise default to google docs/Librr Office

    LibreOffice from Flathub.

    But if I’m crafting a document from scratch, I use AbiWord, which has been my default WYSIWYG editor since 20 years ago. Most recently, I used it to type the contract I used to sell a house, and to start an LLC.

    I don’t know if it counts but I’ve been using pandoc for the entirety of my college life so far which includes creating presentations and writing papers. For collaboration with other students, we would usually use Google Docs. It’s pretty much the standard nowadays.
