Maybe I'm alone but nextcloud has gone from being kinda flaky and annoying to really great the past few years.

Is nextcloud the good one and owncloud the inferior one?

I don't think I really push it, but I find it just right for self-hosting my calendar, contacts, photos, and files.

I don’t know about owncloud, but I have been hosting a family Nextcloud instance for a little under two years and it works fine.

It’s boring. It works.

Upgraded yesterday, I only use a small amount of features (files, memories, calendar, tasks). It sucks that tasks isn't compatible yet (but I mostly use DAVx⁵/Tasks.org as front-end), and it sucks that the landing page still pulls close to 20MB or so, but besides that, nothing to report one way or another.

I'd agree that it has gotten better over time. I'm glad we have Nextcloud around.

I now use Nextcloud both for a family server and an academic lab. It has become such a daily part of my life, and I am really grateful for it. I just wish the network effects were stronger so I could benefit more from the federated features, and people didn't think it is so weird to get a Nextcloud link.

Lab use: https://git.medlab.host/MEDLab/Handbook/src/branch/main/docs...

I always had terrible trouble keeping it (and before it, Owncloud) updated and in sync with available dependencies on my Debian host. A few years ago, when I built a new NAS, I installed a snap, and that's been the ticket. It's pretty close to flawless now.
