However, Office 365 for the Mac (2016) regularly crashes.
Presumably, OS X 10.11.1 fixes some problems with Office 2016 when you are running El Capitan. I am two-minded when it comes to Google Docs and Office 365. On the one hand, Office 365 is an offer you cannot resist (especially the academic pricing). Microsoft Office documents are a fact of life, Office 365 gives you continuous updates and 1TB of OneDrive space.
On the other hand, last time I compared them, Google Docs' collaboration story was far better. Collaborative editing in Docs is really smooth, while in Office it was hit and miss.

I'm running 10.10.5, and that is a version of Mac OS X they support. So, "fixed in 10.11" is not at all interesting to me.

The quality of MS Office on Mac in incredibly bad. Last week I had MS Office popped up around 10 sign in windows and then crash due I think to being on a corporate network which used a proxy.
However, Office 365 for the Mac (2016) regularly crashes. All 4 of us that use it at my company have experienced this. I can't remember the last time Google Docs crashed or screwed up a document.
So, it amazes me that the quality of MS Office is so incredibly low. This is not the way to win any market.
