What is the endgame of office software? It feels like there hasn't been any progress since mid-2000s.

Office 2010 is the only good version. Anything newer is garbage.

> there hasn't been any progress since mid-2000s.
MS is busy reinventing the wheel and expanding Sharepoint/Report Server/MSSQL integration. Since 2000, nothing happened for a home user.

I'd rather use botnet drive and it's word, sheet, and slides

Word, excel and pp feel outdated, bloated and sluggish, especially word and pp.

Excel is brettygud but if you need software for research you're going to be using R anyway

>change a number in the product name,change a default format and sell the same shit again to the same people
Micro$oft

What else do you want it to do though? it could be better optimized but you can't really there's not a whole lot of features that could be added to a word processor or slide show program

very true, this whole subscription shit is retarded

The endgame is just rereleasing with incremented version number and earn billions on companies locked into proprietary formats.

So office is pretty much in its endgame since the late '90, early '00.

you can still get new versions under subscription without a sub though

FUCK THE FUCKING RIBBON
EVERYTHING WAS SO MUCH EASIER WHEN YOU HAD DROP DOWN MENUS

Having multiple users on the same document, at the same time.

Its called Google word thing whatever its called.

ribbon is just a drop down menu with icons
whats your deal

>t. Never used any software professionally.

Not him, but the ribbon occupies more space and the icons are inconsistently placed.

they're 'inconsistently' placed based on usage and importance
see that lil arrow, it gets rid of the ribbon when ya don't need it

Vim in a shared gnu/screen session.

Google's document formatting sucks ass

Right, now you need a friendly graphical user interface, document format options, dictionary, etc.

>Right, now you need a friendly graphical user interface, document format options, dictionary, etc.

Only if you have a severe case of stockholm syndrome from your office adventure.

office 360 is comfy t.b.h

Nope, gtfo.

The user who uses text processors is not a Loonix retard who lives on their parent's basement. He doesn't give a fuck about learning key shortcuts or tweaking his software, he just wants to finish the fucking work.

A friendly reminder you are falling for a suggestion to use Vim in a shared gnu/screen session. You should be able to figure out what is happening here.

Nah, I'm just saying that VIM is shit for autistic kids.

Yes, let's move things around when you use them, so that the user can't memorize positions and use their own muscle memory. Great improvement.

Ribbon also made some keyboard shortcut sequences more cumbersome, btw.

there hasn't been any progress because microsoft has a monopoly on the standard and of all companies, microsoft is the one most likely to do nothing

>based off usage
bullshit. it was introduced as a completely different system to what preceded it. the precedent for which things were based off usage would have shown that people used the classic layout
