    It does the same job but when you’re using it constantly the small QOL things really matter.

      Exactly. It’s taking the time to learn everything to produce a document quickly for publishing.

      Even going from pc to Mac word requires an uplift.

      I figure when I make the switch, it’ll cost me about 100k in lost productivity. Nothing has driven me to take that loss yet but a subscription might.

        Favorite OS be damned when you have a fiscal consequence. Switching to Linux full time will cost me money at the end of it and I can’t justify that until it costs me more to NOT switch to Linux.
