While LibreOffice works like a charm on Linux, it's way behind in Windows and macOS. Microsoft's tools use the screen space much more efficiently under both.

While I understand that looks isn't everything (I use Eclipse with great joy), it's to the point that hinders productivity in these tools.

My current favourite is OnlyOffice – pretty concise interface and good compatibility. Unfortunately, there's no build for Linux on Arm yet, so I'm stuck with LibreOffice (not too bad either).

Isn't OnlyOffice browser-based? Or is that something else?

It is, but they also package it as a desktop app using CEF. (It is one of maybe two Chromium-based desktop apps that I like, the other one being VSCodium.)

It's a shady closed source product though. I've also encountered plenty of bugs so moved back to Libreoffice.

Their browser-based self-hosted solution has optional closed-source components, but the desktop app is pretty much open source: https://github.com/ONLYOFFICE/DesktopEditors

The development model is a bit sketchy (e. g. they have a separate private issue tracker and sometimes ignore tickets in their open source repos), but the sources are there.
