// EDITOR'S TAKE
For real spreadsheet work, collabora-online is the nearest match because it puts an actual Calc engine behind a collaborative browser UI, and Grist is better when your sheets are secretly databases with formulas across linked tables. NocoDB looks like a spreadsheet but is a database front end, so heavy formula workbooks will not port cleanly.
