I'm pretty happy with libre office. Not keen on AI code

Not going to use this one either, but I wish I could use LibreOffice.

It's really laggy for me on Windows. Particulary when interacting with the window, moving or resizing it. It's not smooth at all. As someone who uses everything windowed and moves windows around all the time, I tried using it, but it's unusable for me imo.
