Office would have a learning curve too if you hadn’t been using it since you were a child.

Tbf it was simplier back when people first used it

When people were first using it they were coming from DOS or older machines. Many were using a mouse for the first time. It wasn’t simpler to them.

This is very true. I hadn’t used Microsoft Office since 2007 and at my new workplace everyone’s using it. It’s really hard and I don’t find anything. Yesterday I was working with tables but I gave up and had IT install libreoffice instead.
