If you've ever used the online Office365 then you know that Microsoft's experience in writing desktop office software didn't transfer to the cloud offering at all. (Online Office is horrible in every way and isn't even compatible with desktop Office.)
So I'm saying it should be doable, theoretically. Starting from scratch might be an opportunity here, not an impediment.
- usrusr 5y agoCan it be worse than offline MS Office? I've never used O365 and got initially acquainted with MS Office on some version of Winword before going deep on O'97, but whatever I use now feels full of limiting UI quirks that were tolerable twenty years ago but feel outrageously cumbersome looking at them from the present day. Combined with the sedimental layers of crustified superficial UI "reinventions" of several generations of product managers trying to leave their mark that eventually burden every Microsoft product. It's hardly surprising that fresh approaches like Google's offerings seem to eat MSOffice's lunch without even seriously trying.
