      Microsoft will break compatibility as soon as they want to, leaving onlyoffice docx users with no option than buying Microsoft Office, eventually.

      Microsoft-supported formats are badly documented, and regularly broken by updates of the software before changes are understood (if there’s even an update to the loose spec we used to have). That’s a problem.
