I was watching my wife navigate Outlook the other day, I can't believe how bad it's got since I last used it. It was completely unresponsive on brand new hardware. The UI was awful.

Outlook used to be one of the best email clients available. Now it’s essentially the worst imaginable.
We just renewed our 365 licenses at my company for one more year. I’ve been mentally sketching out an exit strategy. I inventoried what we use in 365 and Azure, and there’s not a single thing we can’t replace with an alternative we run or a different provider that’s a bit less hostile to third party ecosystems/standards/etc.
I briefly used MS word recently, and the UI is so different. I found it quite hard to find things.
Heh, I fired up Libre Office a while back. Built up a home machine that does run Windows 10 (some embedded dev tools I want to run with low hassle), but all software on it is either OSS, or free beer type software.
No 365, lol and the Win 10 pro license was $5 (electronicsfirst.com)
Libre Office is GREAT. I have not used it in a while. In a couple hours, I had my styles, fonts and goodies all setup.
Making docs and a fairly detailed presentation were a pleasure.
Office is degrading rapidly right now!
Outlook has gotten so terrible that the web version is better these days...
