I am happy to use Office in wine, as it gives me a very stable experience, full unicode supports even with my Xorg keymaps.
I use Visual Studio in wine - not as good as Office, but still very good.
I have a Windows phone, a priced relic since Microsoft abandoned them. Rock stable, last for a week in airplane mode.
I have a Windows 10 LTSB in a separate partition. Initially I just wanted to test it out. Now I consider running it in KVM for Visual Studio, in case I want more than what wine can now offer.
Hell, I am considering replacing my Thinkpad by one of Microsoft surfaces. As soon as it runs Linux as well as a Thinkpad, can get 32G of RAM, a user replacable SSD, wifi and lte module, I buy one. Seriously, even if the keyboard is not as good. And given Microsoft new focus on developpers, I wouldn't entirely dismiss the idea of a Surface Developper, bulkier but sturdier and user upgradable.
People say "hell froze over". I don't care. I look forward for more change from Microsoft. Because their tools are innovative again.

I used to play games using PlayOnLinux but the company, Origin (IIRC), updated their game manager software seemingly in order to break the Linux compatibility. The games were paid for and worked perfectly well. Annoying as hell when companies appear to be actively hostile to you buying their product.
