Disagree but collaboration is horrible. Online Office sucks too though, they dont even try. They want people to use Windows.

Oh yeah 365 online simultaneous "collaboration" is absolutely useless. If I really need multiple people inside the same document I'll use Google docs and then export it to finish off the formatting.

Yeah wow thats not better. Never used that, but finishing off formatting on a complex Paper is not really possible
