Cons
Con Over priced and being slowly forced to 365
Con Loaded with bugs
Program hangs can occur with 365 and tons of high CPU thermal loading from this package to the point of requiring uninstall of this package. Word hasn't gotten any better since they refined it in the early 2000s - it's only gotten far more bloated and crash prone, not to mention the horrible GUI appearance and lack of functionality that their older, stand-alone packages once had.
Even XL (formerly, Lotus 1,2,3), was ruined and degraded to where, 101 functions ceased to function properly.
Outlook - what a debacle that turned out to be. About the only useful application in the suite turned out to be PowerPoint in daily use.
Con Next step down the path of constant surveillance
At least with standalone and a good packet filter you can limit what telemetry is being sent back to Microsoft.
Con Ads
If you don't pay for the full version, you will be forced to deal with ads.
Con Can not save in ODF
Sure the program can open the ODF format, which is very useful to users of LibreOffice or similar, but it does not seem to be able to save in that format as it tries to save as a docx, doc, rtf, or txt. Maybe in the future.
