Hmm. Sometimes I step back and I look at the version history in modern Office documents and it does feel convenient. I like the CRDT editing a lot. It still feels too loose and prone to issues, but I recognize its value to the average person.

Most of what bothers me is trying to view, read-only a previous version. Usually I have several Word or Excel documents up on my screen, and it's easy to begin modifying a past version that then becomes the latest. It's not reflex to open a previous version and untoggle autosave. It bites me all the time.. In Office's pursuit to help people avoid losing data, I wind up overwriting what I need to preserve. A lot..

I have not seen manual version names in Word doc history. Maybe I'm sheltered :s
