I mean you may not realize it but if you’ve been routinely using it for that long, at this point you pretty likely have well-established workarounds for the annoying bits that barely register for you as workarounds or annoying by now.
Not too different from the phenomenon where the average subject matter expert over time grows unable to relate to or communicate effectively with people having substantially less expertise. Just cuz so much foundational stuff (lacked by novices) is just implicitly baked in, to the point it becomes invisible - water to the proverbial fish or whatever.
It’s true, but you have to learn a piece of software and how it works to be able to use it effectively. I hated Linux for all its quirks and how stuff works differently from Windows. After putting work into it and learning stuff, I am no longer bitching about it as much. It seems to me that this is the same situation with Word and mostly because Microsoft are the way they are.
