Also wake me up when there’s a cloud version that works in an even vaguely similar way.
The Office advantage is a suite of apps and integrations with their cloud offerings. That’s their big moat against vibe-coded apps, because few vibe-coders want to maintain a SaaS service for Office files and even fewer CIOs want to commit their company to use that service when Microsoft exists and is proven to work.
Looking at the website they seem to mention a web version: https://getartcraft.com/ (I haven’t tried though)

NextCloud has had an office suite offering for many years.
The web versions are passable, but the native versions are non-extant, and the handoff story leaves much to be desired. You can’t, say, have one person editing native and one person editing on web.
