Why hate? I don't hate, Microsoft or Office, or anything like that. Those are choices, things. You can't hate things. I agree with this OP that office had all the functionality almost everyone needed twenty years ago. Most of the changes to office have been cosmetic and frustrating to established users. Perhaps their could have been add ons - like in browsers, for more functionality that certain users need, without messing with established work flows and ease of use, which are also important.
