Me too and I'm surprised this is at all controversial.
Word is a native app with important features (structural elements, templates, macros etc), real time collaborative editing, fully customizable keybindings, bibliography management, mathematical equation editor with latex symbols, etc.
Google Docs is a slow, web-based, nerfed clone of it. If you just have to write the occasional memo then sure, Google Docs is serviceable. However if documents are an important part of my job, I want to be doing them in Word.
(I've even put emacs keybindings in it.)
- Brian_K_White 5y agoDevelopers/sysadmins, and people for whom documents matter remotely that much, are two different groups of people. It's a tool for tools.
- sushid 5y agoHNers have strange hills they want to die on. Sure, all else being equal something like Teams vs Slack might make me switch to one company over another but it's not a dealbreaker by any means. Things like language or framework, I can understand (to a certain degree) but giving up an otherwise awesome job because of Slack vs Teams is ludicrous to me.

- kyawzazaw 5y agoI agree. The only thing Teams and Slack really differ is probably the channels and threads. And it is not that confusing.
