100,000x even. Obviously yes! Even the web -- the things the higher resource caps enable are unbelievable. Yes bottom feeding news sites are worse for it, boo hoo. Have you see the shit you can do in a web browser today? On any device? It's so, so, so much cooler and better than anything the 90s had.
A lot less developer time spent making sure the application fit in a tiny amount of memory.
Of course that sucks for you as a user when an application takes up 4+GB of memory for no reason (I'm looking at you Teams). But for the company that writes it, it is great. Compile and ship, no more weeks or months of trying to shave off every bit so you can fit this in 16MB of RAM, or on just a few floppies. You have a big customer that will sign a 10 million+ contract if you add feature X? Sorry, no way to make that work in under 105KB, which means we can't ship it.
It runs locally, not rendering badly in the browser.
Saving to disk does not require navigation through 3 sub-menues.
Not sure what you mean by this one - Word '97 didn't run in a browser either.
As for your other two features, I still don't see those as a 1000-fold improvement.
How about real time collaborative editing?
All the above cross platform?
C'mon now be realistic :).
