I have heard they’re the main two choices for FOSS enthusiasts. What are their pros and cons?
I have used LibreOffice so far and I’m very impressed with the ui as it is much more visually appealing than IWork and Microsoft Office.

In 2010, Oracle bought Sun Microsystems, which held the trademark for the OpenOffice.org project. The open-source community that developed OpenOffice.org was worried that Oracle would do bad things, so they set up a non-profit, The Document Foundation, and established the LibreOffice project. Most of the outside contributors moved over to contributing to LibreOffice instead.
A few years later, Oracle donated the OpenOffice trademark to the Apache Software Foundation, which is why Apache OpenOffice now theoretically exists. But yeah, it hasn’t seen a non-bug-fix release since 2014. You simply want to use LibreOffice at this point…

Most of them are extremely toxic.
??? I’ve never heard of this.
I think, ey tried to hint you’re over-generalising and being biased. Your first comment probably was meant to be a compliment but ended up close to a discriminatory insult
would you be hostile to people pretending that your people’s ethnic cleansing didn’t happen? tankies are dumb, I don’t wanna get any more political.
They’re a rare breed.
IIRC it wasn’t just worry that Oracle would do bad, it was Oracle’s slowness/reluctance at incorporating patches and fixes, and that they were making OpenOffice unnecessarily dependent on Oracle’s Java.
