Like garbage. That’s why I haven’t invested in the time. I write large documents and do lot of research for publishing. As such learning a new tool is a pain in the ass

It does the same job but when you're using it constantly the small QOL things really matter.

Exactly. It’s taking the time to learn everything to produce a document quickly for publishing.

Even going from pc to Mac word requires an uplift.

I figure when I make the switch, it’ll cost me about 100k in lost productivity. Nothing has driven me to take that loss yet but a subscription might.

Favorite OS be damned when you have a fiscal consequence. Switching to Linux full time will cost me money at the end of it and I can't justify that until it costs me more to NOT switch to Linux.
