I previously ran into an issue where parts of Office 365 would run uselessly slow and consume an unreasonable amount of CPU time when run in a browser that didn't send a Windows or Mac user agent string. The workaround was to spoof a "supported" user agent. However, it's been many months since I have used it for any significant length of time, so that particular fault may have been fixed. It might also have been exacerbated by the old hardware I was using. For myself, I would rank Excel online below both LibreOffice 5 for and MS Office 2003 for feature-completeness, but above them for multi-user editing and ease of use. I suppose it depends on what you are trying to use it for.

[Dorset] LibreOffice or Onedrive
SWMBO says that she cannot get on with LibreOffice 5 since I got rid of XP and Office2003, and she looks after our finances using the Excel equivalent. I have moved the accounts file down to OneDrive so that she can use the online equivalent to Microsoft Excel as a trial for her. Has anybody any similar experience? Are there any drawbacks to this, other than the need to be online?
