MS Word is… very nice

Weeks after saying goodbye to Ubuntu and hello to Windows as my desktop OS I have to admit: MS Word is very nice.

  • Web Layout with the right zoom adjustment makes your writing experience a pleasure to the eyes;
  • Auto-formatting is cool — in fact, I’ve got a bad impression of this feature after all those years using LibreOffice Write and its “totalitarian” auto-formatting behavior. MS Word’s is gentle and permissive if you want to override its suggestions;
  • Typing itself is nice. There is a subtle cursor animation going forward when you’re typing that is barely noticeable to the eye.

Well, after being away from MS Office for more than 15 years, I can say my experience with Word so far has been a pure joy.
