For what it's worth (probably nothing :P), I find Office a horrible piece of software that I avoid like the plague. I think the interfaces of apps like Word, Excel is too crowded (too much buttons, options) and rather use more limited alternatives, even if they're a bit crappy (looking at you, Google Docs). With regards to PowerPoint, I think Apple's Keynote is a much better designed and usable app for presentations.
- bane 13y agoI don't disagree. I fire up much simpler ASCII editors quite frequently to just get stuff done. But they're really worth learning beyond the surface level use-cases as extra tools in the toolbox. re: Keynote - I think Keynote tends to just produce better looking presentations, but you'd be impressed with some of the ways I've seen Powerpoint pressed in to service that had nothing to do with presentations. A few of them are so useful to me (e.g., Powerpoint is actually a pretty decent easy-to-use graphics and chart maker, vector graphics tool, logo designer, UI mockup tool etc.) that the ability to do those things are so important to me that I won't switch to another presentation tool until they can do them. edit for example, I made this entire image out of nothing but powerpoint vectors and a few power point vector effects http://i.imgur.com/qK7XxM5.jpg http://i.imgur.com/qK7XxM5.jpg
