The alternatives are great for many things.
Not when done neatly ...

If you look beyond the 5 words that you quoted you'd see that I didn't say that in the general sense but in the very specific sense of Office 2016. Are you saying that Microsoft did it "neatly"?
Sorry. I'm on PC-BSD at the moment and don't yet know the key combination, if any, for proper ellipses.
I looked at all three shots, primarily at the one in your post. Maybe I'm mistaken but I saw outlining on some of the buttons, and I thought
OpenOffice was managed by Sun Computer, Oracle bought Sun. At some point after that, they (Oracle) was going to change the type of license and let Apache manage the project to some degree. This angered the open source community and they forked the development. Now most people gravitate to Libra office.
I've just tried my dissertation from uni (probably the longest document I can find easily) and no lag at all, I'm on the latest version as well on my Macbook Pro.
Yes, I probably know very little about it. In that case, though, if it is really that difficult to understand OOXML, than my only option is to use Microsoft Office. I must have full compatibility with Office files and I am not willing to give up the advanced features of Office.
I can confirm that it lags horribly for me too on version (15.11). Previous version was so much better.
Well, since I have Office preview installed on a preview version of OS X 10.11, I could suspect anything possible when encountering bugs using Office preview.
However, compared using Office 2011, I would insist on using this version because it looks much better than previous version, since previous version didn't even integrate support for OneDrive for Business.

Thanks for the info! Installing it just now - says bug fixes only so I see if the stability improved however the current version has been running just fine for me!
Compare the interfaces.
Mac Office Preview 2016 on top.
Windows Office Preview 2016 on bottom.
I know which one I prefer.
You are using preview office? I tried once, but the constant crash just drove me back to office 2013, since this version was more stable preview, and I heavily relied on office software.
I have office enterprise subscription, but I could not receive preview update. I don't know why.
You missed it by that much

Hehe! I hope i redeemed myself with the link?
This update does fixes the black stripe bug in previous preview, although I have updated El capitan to beta 2 so it is hard to see which fixes which.You missed it by that much

It's getting better. Initial opening time for Word after a restart is still too high... 50 secs on my 2013 iMac with 8Gb. But subsequent openings are in the 5-7 second range. Excel first open is 25 secs and after 5-7 secs. I'm still seeing a display bug in Excel... some plain cells are reverse italics at 125% zoom. It's not there at 120% or 130%. It also varies by content too so I can't nail down exactly whats doing it.
I hope Microsoft will take its time with this release. I tried using Word on my iMac. I opened a 50 pages document with lots of comments and Word was unusable. The screen refreshed all the time and it was very slow. I had to work with the last version.
