yeah office used to just work (mostly, and ignoring the quirks), but this past year it’s been doing weird shit and generally been unreliable because of cloud sync behaviour for me
Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app”

It’s godawful, to the point of being barely functional
My company runs on office and I write everything in Google drive, then export it to a word document and import it into office because working on office web is just a joke.
Seriously.
Sometimes it just randomly and quietly deletes some text I just typed
Sometimes it just changes layouts on other pages where I’m not even working
Sometimes it says it saved the work and it saved didly squat
I see Microsoft office as something that only “enterprise” level customers would be stupid enough to use and to pay actual money for.

I’ve been writing a long work, using Office for web editing. Every so often in proofreading, I find spots where it looks like words were just missing. Now I feel like I may have some explanation…

Apparently word online will just st random drop pieces of text during saving.
Why?
Microsoft. That’s why

Nah, they’re right. The first time I tried Linux I remember how irritated and nitpicking I was with LibreOffice, and how that has always been sort of the dealbreaker for me in terms of becoming a dedicated Linux user.
The entire world runs on .docx like it or not. If it’s not either close to an exact replica or far superior, it’s a no-go. I remember giving up on Google Docs because of something to do keystrokes and margin formats. Nothing has ever been able to quite replace it up to this point.
Shame they’ve decided to dump their entire undisputed monopoly for AI lol
