I found that someone from Europe just forked ONLYOFFICE.

What are your thoughts on this? What document server do you run/use?

    It is explained in the readme linked in the OP.

    tl;dr: they were using it before, but the codebase is old and hard to maintain and also doesn’t scale well in an online cloud office context.

    Personally I have been using both (ONLYOFFICE and Collabora Office), and I can see why people prefer the former, even though for small personal use the latter is also ok.

      I have also tried both and ONLYOFFICE was better for my use case. It seems much better maintained.

        Tell me then why it took years for them to add a horizontal rule (literally just a horizontal line). I’m not kidding, it was only added in the last few weeks. How do I know? I commented on the github issue about like 3 or 4 years ago (the issue was already multiple years old) and have been getting notifications every time someone asks for it. And finally like a week or two ago I finally got the notification that it was added.
