I am not a KDE user but I consider this measure a big step backwards in
terms of the defense of open standards that any project involved in free
software should promote.

You may not be aware, but there is a product developed in Taiwan that is
available in a community version and provides full support for the only
standard office document format: ODF. It's called OxOffice Online, it's a
fork of LibreOffice Online with several improvements. In fact we are using
it at the university where I work.

I leave you the link,
