  In my experience, I feel it's getting better in some regards, worse in others. I used to be Visual Studio only but nowadays I refuse to install that VS in any capacity if I can help it: the installer is broken, the app takes forever to launch and it's always an unpleasant experience against other IDEs like Jetbrains. I don't use MS Office and I have fond memories of some powerful features but unless you need to actively use it I think the web versions are fine? ..Gimp/Krita/Inkscape are nowhere near acceptable for graphics work and while they have been making leaps the proprietary apps haven't stood still and I think they are more than keeping the pace. I am a super avid user of Affinity Photo/Designer and they are the my main blocking issue for moving out of Windows currently. Wine support for these two apps is non-existent ( https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=17927 https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=applicatio... ) EDIT: Forgot to say, LibreOffice is unusable IMO, the UI has plenty of issues (honestly whoever is in charge should watch Tantacrul's video on MuseScore as I find a lot of parallels) and it's quite unreliable. We used to maintain a software manual at my previous place of work and LibreOffice would crash so often when trying to edit it, to the point we gave up having a manual!
