I was never a fan of Windows, being a Mac guy. However Word used to be good. After a long avoidance I had to use it for work. Teams Word, online Word, Word.app Word. It is a complete cluster fuck and formatting etc is a shambles across versions. The ecosystem within MS products is a dumpster fire. And yet is the state of the art.

The Office suite is one of their key products, and it’s awful.



Don't forget OneDrive and SharePoint and Teams.

But, every big company keeps buying this shit.


God the inability of Sharepoint Online to show all sites, but only “Recent sites” is infuriating. You create a site and wait an hour to show up in the sidebar. Or the slew of bugs across Office UX.

At least Google feels like a designer looked at it after things have gone live.
