Just yesterday I was using someone's computer with Word 2013 on it and even with my existing cynicism I was surprised to find that it takes four mouse clicks to bring up an OS-native open file dialog, pointing at the user's default folder as chosen in the options.
All these clicks are for ploughing through the 'Backstage' view giving you various roads for recent documents, favourites, OneDrive etc, despite the fact that most of these things are already addressed by the native open file dialog. (And turning off the 'Backstage' view in the options doesn't actually turn it off for mouse users, only for the Ctrl-O keyboard shortcut.)
After the complaints in the LibreOffice thread the other day about its 'old'-looking menus it was a reminder that modern Microsoft UI is generally a hot mess that I'm happy for them not to rush into.
