I completely agree with your sentiments, it’s like trekking on the North Pole. I have both Office 2010 and 2013 on my system (Win7, x64), but I never use 2013 for the reasons you mention, plus the infamous blurry font problem. It’s a software product that millions of people around the world have to spend their entire days staring at, yet MS can’t be bothered to make that visually bearable.

For these reasons I refuse to use any software for writing that’s harsh on the eye or doesn’t allow me to easily set up my own permanent colour schemes.
