OnlyOffice has better compatibility with Microsoft Office formats in most cases.

LibreOffice has been developed with Open Document Format as its first-class citizen. In my experience, it can't render the layout correctly for most docx forms created with tables.

For example, this is a form I filled a few months ago for my college's paperwork: https://imgur.com/tv5GDZa

I'm sure you're right. Has not been an issue for us at all though. Probably because we are not really dealing with documents very much.
