Office is incredible, incredible software. We're nowhere near replacing it with iWork/Google Docs/Open/Libre.

  I'll believe that when I stop randomly seeing "Microsoft Word/Excel/Outlook/etc. has encountered a problem and needs to close." Office is completely bug-ridden and unstable, and always has been.

  Incredible for someone, but not for me. I haven't opened up Office since 2009. And the only reason that I opened it then is that I was getting attachments from Office docs from users who used it to communicate stuff with me that could have been more effectively communicated in plain text emails.

  Excel in particular is the Swiss army knife of corporate applications. It's capable of much more than people give it credit for.

    It's also the source of an unbelievable amount of time-wasting and poor decision-making (due to questionable modeling.) I used to be 100-hr-per-week Excel driver and I do not miss that program, having not used Office in about 3 years.
