That still is an insufficient apologia for Word, and paints the wrong picture: 95% of the features that everyone uses are the same, but the remaining 5% are different.
Never mind the bloat in the implementation of the 95% and the bad UI of presenting these various features.
- goto11 5y agoI don't think Word or Excel need any "apologia". They are incredibly successful software products which in general are well liked by their users.
- hulitu 5y agoThey are succsesfull because of windows monopoly on enterprise market. Office 2007 was mostly ok. 365 not so. I'm trying very hard to like any of Microsoft's products because my employee force me to use then ( they might be part of a contract). But MS Office is, and has always been a PITA.
