Being good is one thing, being compatible with existing files full of VBA macros is another.

Although MS themselves apparently don't realize that, considering how they push the web version which doesn't support them?

It doesn't even support many basic functions of the office apps.

MS was working hard on creating feature parity but at some point they just dropped everything and gave up.
