Its just more complex than you appear to be capable of dealing with, so
not too much point in saying much more.

I never said it was. In fact I said quite the opposite. Its not as good
as it could be, I'm always looking for ways of improving things. I'd say
that given the resources at their disposal, MS products are way short of
what they could be too. You just defend them as being wonderful at every
opportunity which is why you attract a lot of flak from those who know
better. OOo is free bloat, MS office is non-free bloat. OOo has the
potential to evolve better and at least open the door for better future
products. MSO is a stagnating monopoly that will continue to be a
stagnating monopoly.
