TGFM - Thank God for Markdown
Seriously, though. 9 times out of 10, markdown has all the formatting I need for the task at hand. On the rare occasion I need something more, I’m glad I have access to Apple Pages, but it comes with its own set of unique challenges.
I wish Markdown had better support for tables.
My choice of file-format for documents sorted by complexity of the content:
I have not come across 2 & 3. Very interested in Typst after a quick look…
I can wholeheartedly recommend Typst over Latex (if one does not depend on exclusive Latex packages).
The syntax makes sense, it is powerful and the compiler is fast.
I thought Typst looked interesting, I just have too many years of LaTex mental patterns and Vim shortcuts to be bothered to try it. I've suggested Typst to a couple of friends who later said,"thanks."
I miss the Steve Jobs era of iWork.
I won’t say it was the best (why were there no pivot tables in numbers?? And why is the current implementation shit requiring manual refreshes that you can’t rely on?), but the software worked very uniformly and was straight forward.
If he hadn’t died he would still be yelling at them to make keynote and numbers work, and he probably wouldn’t have missed the collaborative editing boat.
iWeb was pretty sweet too.
Microsoft office is why I use iWork.
Why would anyone use that garbage over Libre Office?
Because businesses have been using it for decades, they have old spreadsheets with all kinds of functions and shit that may not easily port over, etc.
The unfortunate reality.
Word works fine and has just about every feature business users needs. This stuff hasn't been true in a long time.
Word has long since become a low value comodity. Why pay at all when Libre Office does everything well for free.
Thanks to US enshittification, governments and corporations around the world are de-americanizing their tech stacks. FOSS for the win.
Microsoft will eat dirty ass.
Libre office doesn't offer you sharing and interactivity with role and user based access, pii and phi scanning, on top on the idp they offer you that can be used in just about any compliance situation.
Nobody is paying for just the notepad editor. They just don't have to deal with any security whatsoever.
Libre office does offer sharing, and RBAC can be handled at the storage level.

There are other tools for PII and PHI scanning and this is part of foundry, not Office. You pay more for that.
The only thing why this is still the case is because microsoft is bundling everything in a single subscription and is also providing you with software that automatically keeps everything updated.
The software is shit, but companies using the entire ecosystem probably save money. Sadly.
Microsoft Word is just fine. I assume most of the hate is for Microsoft because Word works just fine for most people’s use cases.
It's free (aaaaar) and it does everything I need it to. The pdf editing is a dream though. Use something else.
Survival of the ~~fittest~~ inescapable.
