I would say most MS products like Word and Excel as well as practically every software product over 10 years old fall into this trap. Upgrades do not necessarily make it better to use.
Come to think of it, I gave up on MS Office some ten years ago. At the time, they started pushing their new subscription model, which really made me want to learn OpenOffice instead. Also, is the 'ribbon' still a thing? Gave me nightmares! It makes you wonder what kind of people come up with these so-called upgrades.
This is a really interesting read, despite technology not being my thing (not due to a lack of interest, more due to a lack of understanding).
Thanks Mindy, much appreciated! ❤
I'm not much different and these posts are mostly the result of me trying to keep up with the digital world myself.

So true!

Yes, the ribbon lives! Glad they got rid of this.
