It took 30 seconds to open a "local" file in Word, and my Outlook email wasn't updating.

In other words, a day that ends in "y".

My company was recently acquired by a company that uses Office, so I'm using Microsoft products for the first time in 15 years. It's absolutely APPALLING how bad they are. I assumed they got fairly usable in the last 15 years, but it seems they've gone backwards.

For all my gripes about GSuite, ... I don't know how businesses can justify using software this bad.

GSuite was written from the start as an online collaborative platform.

O365 is Microsoft Office shoehorned into running in a web browser.
