It's funny that it's such a blatant knock-off of Google Workspace - the repos even have the same names:

I wonder if the emoji will grow into its own set:

It doesn't matter. Office suites are a commodity. Google suite is knockoff of MS Office at certain point in time. That's just the nature of digital - information want's to be free.

I feel like we would see a lot more movement if we’ve reached the commodity point…

It's network effects / lock-in. There is a reason why people still use Microsoft Office and that is that surprising amount of industries have everything build around it. In my country anything law related is submitted in Microsoft Word. Academic texts? Microsoft Word. Communication with government? Microsoft Word.

The reason why Google Docs somewhat managed to break this was 1. free, 2. multiplayer/easy to share.

One law about requiring the state documents to be submitted in open formats, editable in libre software... and the lock instantly breaks.

That's exactly what we need though, so I see that as a plus.
