I'm jealous - I held onto Excel 2003 until 2018 at which point Win10 couldn't really run it anymore - all office after 2003 is a step backwards IMO

I use Office 2010 which seems moderately stable (2007 was a complete mess) + ubitmenu though I am occasionally irked that 2010 isn't fully compatible with nested comments some colleagues use...

Why not use Libre Office?

Yeah, Libre Office has -IMO- the best approach by allowing different UIs and i find the "single toolbar" superior to the ribbon-like interface or the "mass overload" of toolbars the default/office-2003-like UI has.

Obviously the single toolbar only provides the most common and basic functionality but that's what i'd need in a toolbar - and if i'd need more i could probably customize it (probably, i don't know, never had the need :-P).
