  > Also, software developers are naturally biased against Microsoft Office. For no good reason. I don't know any individual's reason for being biased for or against anything, but I think that, if the claim is that there is no good reason to be biased against Microsoft Office, then that's false. My personal gripe is that Office's approach is just fundamentally antithetical to the idea that I know what I want to do with my document better than Office itself does; it's always trying to guess and, for a recent infuriating example, getting a bulleted list to indent the way that I want it can be an epic battle.

    I am continually surprised by how much of the modern offices of America run on excel. My favorite feature is when you ever so slightly click to the edge of a cell in the middle of a 10,000,000 line csv file, it warps you to the bottom of the page and selects the last cell so you can't find you way back. Best design decision ever! Another favorite feature was auto-detect formatting. If it could read it as anything other than plain text it would default to dates, times, whatever it found... only recently (2023) was this "AMAZING" feature given a switch to turn it off... Thankfully I don't have to interact with word. Thar be dragons.
