Yeah I saw no reason to switch to docx, it was just slightly smaller, at the core its a lock in that zipped document files (I don't care about being a few kb smaller) and caused more problems (some people didn't have office 2007 even years after it had been out) when sharing so I never saw a point to using it. It benefitted nobody and caused more pain.
