- lvl102 4y agoEverything after the ribbon was garbage. They changed it, for worse, to sell new copies.
- jabroni_salad 4y agogotta say I like the search thingy they put in there where you can just type what you want instead of digging through menus, especially for lesser used features.
- bigDinosaur 4y agoBasically the idea of a command palette, although less prominent, I guess. And yes, it's the way to actually use the office suite in general instead of messing around with the ribbon.

- samplatt 4y agoUnless that was sarcasm and I'm whooshing, I really don't get the big deal about xlookup. It's like vlookup but I'm no longer forced to have the lookup column as the first column in the range? I mean, that's nice, it makes my workflows one or steps shorter, but it's hardly groundbreaking.
- dspillett 4y agoThere have been a fair few changes that make a large difference if you care about that thing, but nothing earth shattering for all. Being able too define an arbitrary number of dynamic forgetting rules (where there was a fairly strict limit previously) is one change that I really appreciate. I'm sure there are many other such changes that appeal to other people's user of the thing.
