  • Old isn’t necessarily bad, unless years of decision-making have left it in a massively complex state (see also: Xorg)

    The real reason here is that LibreOffice is written in C++, which is falling rapidly out of fashion for modern apps, leading to a smaller supply of developers.

    Contrast this with Onlyoffice. Yes, the document engine is still written in C++, however the build tools use more modern items like python and onlyoffice supports having Javascript frontends and scripting, making it easier to source web devs to work on these parts.











  • What a shit take calling people dumb for trying to boycott a big tech platform. Having your project primarily on GH including issue tracking etc is in github’s best interest as being “the” code platform.

    You have totally missed the topic. This person is not asking where to host a project. They are asking about how to avoid even downloading a repo from github as if it’s some moral crime.

    Newsflash, 75% of any operating system and it’s utilities are developed and put on github. You cannot avoid it and trying to do so only harms your own access to things. You might as well just cut off your own internet at that point.

    Project developers, not the users downloading from them, have to be the ones to move off of github. That’s how this works.
