Unfortunately, Microsoft Office is so pervasive that it is going to be necessary to have around for a long time to come, simply because it has become a sort of “default” file format. Personally, while I have Office installed on my computers though sheer necessity, I rarely use its software for file creation, much preferring the logic and ease of use of Pages, Numbers and Keynote. I don’t think that High Sierra will bring many improvements to P, N or K, but I am pinning my hopes on iOS 11 and its introduction of file management. Apple are far more interested these days in ensuring parity between MacOS and iOS, so that iOS becomes the limiting factor and the MacOS version suffers. My hope is that this new change in iOS will bring back some of the features we lost with the introduction of the “modern” versions of P, N and K, and which have never returned. I’m not holding my breath...
