What were the early days of WINE like? (lemmy.world)

Did it have more or less compatibility than it does now? Was it difficult to use? I started using Linux around 2016 and switched to it fully in 2020. In all my time I have only used WINE for gaming as most Windows desktop applications I have tried don't really work, not that I'd want to use many anyway. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm just curious to hear peoples experiences.

I basically only used it via crossover office way back when when there was a time I had to use Lotus Notes for email.
