As a Linux daily driver, LibreOffice is ass. I've tried, but it just feels like a cheap, not nearly as good alternative to Microsoft Office. Hate to say it

OnlyOffice is pretty good
I even installed it on my work laptop because Microsoft office is ass. I have 1 pet peeve and that is the horizontal scrolling in Calc.
If you don't need to do anything fancy it's pretty okay. But I also wouldn't use it for more advanced stuff.
Back when I last used it (we're speaking ~8 years ago), I was actually happy using it instead of MSO. ...until I opened a Word document and all the tabulations and spacing went to shit. I don't know whether it got fixed yet, but as soon as they always look identical to the pixel, opened in either editor, I will finally ditch Word.
I guess the same goes for Excel/Calc. Once all the functions are called and work the same, all the formatting looks the same in both, I'll stick with Calc.
(It might come across as I'm being MS elitist, but it's quite the opposite - I would love to switch, but if the admin requires docx, I have these two to choose from. I understand it's not Libre's fault, but I can't do much, either)
Imagine thinking you're a snob about a minimalist text editing experience and Metapad isn't even mentioned
Who’s thinking they’re a snob? Notepad is (or had been for a very long time? I don’t know what modern Windows includes anymore) included by default for PC users.
If it’s already there and it served the purposes OP needed, they would’ve had no reason to look for an alternative. OP may not know about Metapad, especially if they aren’t “a snob about a minimalist text editing experience,” they just liked a minimalist and ubiquitous tool that worked well for them until it showed clear signs of AI encroachment.
I'm pretty sure Vim doesn't have Copilot integration
And I promise you ed doesn't
