LibreOffice is the project where all the devs forked Open Office (an 
Oracle product at the time).

It's been refactored and received rapid development updates.

OnlyOffice was abandoned by Oracle to the Apache foundation and 
virtually no one works on it other than a few commits by IBM employees 
(IBM has distributed OO in the past so wanted it to survive in some form).


LibreOffice beats Open Office by every metric available.

I can't speak to "XL" (XLS?) format specifically, but assume nothing has 
changed in that regard in 10 years for OO.
