Office 97 actually gives me a little bit of nostalgia. It's the last version for me that actually felt pleasant to use (assuming you turn off Clippy, which isn't much of a barrier).

When I was a little kid and started using computers for the first time, Office 97 was one of the only programs installed on my family's PC. I swear the only reason I ever opened Office was for Clippy and its fellow animated characters :)

Peak Office imo is whichever Office version introduced that blue underline that let you immediately undo whatever frustrating autoformatting catastrophe was just inflicted by hitting the tab key or resizing an image. I think it was 2002? Everything afterwards feels like change for change's sake. But I haven't used any version after 2016, thankfully, so maybe they finally got collaborative online editing or less obtuse revision tracking.
