It's certainly changed but the question is if it's better. I did play with the beta version of Mac Word and it was beautiful but buggy right up until the last release. And honestly, I was editing primarily bulleted lists and was enraged that it somehow to this day couldn't do that consistently (copy/paste across lines does unexpected things, indentation seems to differ on every single line, and the, er, list goes on). And then the final version came and a LOG-IN screen appeared after Word's characteristically-long launch (presumably because they have to launch an entire Windows VM or something on the Mac). That's it; you can't do anything else. So I enter what I think is my log-in ID and password and it sits there spinning for a LONG time with no functional way to cancel aside from force-quitting, and then it eventually says the log-in is incorrect. Apparently I needed some other account but it wouldn't tell me why my choice didn't work. So, Office became pretty but worse in every practical respect and far worse in some brand new ways. Seems to me Microsoft is about the same it has always been.
