Watched my coworker move her cursor to the right edge of her right-hand monitor to get it to over to the left side of her left-hand monitor. When I offered to show her how to adjust her display settings, she said she was used to it and didn't want to change it. I don't think I can walk by her desk while she's working ever again.

What have you got?

Office on macOS in general. Shit looks horrible, it doesn’t respect the OS it’s running on:

Command + click on the title of a window (document) doesn’t reveal it in Finder
Cannot rename an open document (what in the Windows 95 is this shit?)
The Open/Save dialogs are soooo huge and sloppy
The huge IE 6.0-style toolbars with tabs are fucking atrocious
Some updater bullshit that runs in the background all the time and doesn’t use the trusty traditional framework or the App Store

Happy I don’t need to swap .docx files anymore, I do everything in Numbers and Pages these days.

I use office on macOS. Points 1 and 2 work for me only if the document is saved locally and not on OneDrive.
