I personally pretty much stopped using Word Editors, and wouldn't use a proprietary one if I did, but I recognise they're still pretty important for the majority of people.

I worked with a company that used O365 last year. Was kinda underwhelmed. Desktop Apps still don't really work well with simultaneous editing of a document, Web Apps don't have all the features of the desktop versions (didn't matter that much in Word, but was annoying in Excel).

I think that the online collaboration implementation of Google's Suite is still a lot more seamless. O365 Desktop and Web stuff feels like a weird attempt to mix two separate products.

For most use cases I've seen, you could probably give the user any modern office suite, whether it be proprietary or open source, and they wouldn't mind too much.

Independent of all privacy concerns, I personally just don't like Edge's UX, but I recognise that it's a serviceable Browser.

I don't think your experience is what most people experience. The vast majority of sharing issues is education on role and user based sharing.

If you understand the difference between a kink that works for everyone and the difference between a view only and edit permissions then it works just fine.
