That's a big part of the continuing appeal of Apple in spite of some of their mis-steps. My Mac mostly just gives me a working system that keeps working and is mostly devoid of crap. The crap it does have can generally be disabled.
You can get some versions of Linux that are pretty stable with the right hardware, but the lack of MS Office is a total bummer.
PS: First person to say that one can run MS Office using Wine, will get nailed to a tree.
(As an aside, LibreOffice puts into perspective how useful the Ribbon menu is)
MS Office is complex, full of bugs... but it has all the things in place that a power user needs. They gave a big though about the things people need. The CTRL+Y after a CTRL+X on excel is a great example of that.
I have a love/hate relationship with MS Office. I would lave to have something better... but we're still far away.
I rarely use MS Office like software so using LibreOffice has been perfectly fine for me.
If you’re an office expert you’d probably figure out how to use it, but for me I’ve only used an office suite maybe a dozen times in my life so I’m very new to it, and latest Office 2016 allows me to get started easily (the much-hated Ribbon UI works for me and is intuitive), where as I find myself Googling all the time to do even the basic stuff in LibreOffice.
Adding new features gives you a lot of fame. Fixing bugs and improving things does not.
Also, this might sound shallow to some, but the latest version of Office just looks a lot better than LibreOffice and I enjoy that.
Except the keyboard.
