On the flip side, GSuite is great if it's all you know. Kids doing the Google thing through school come out with that environment being the one they are familiar with. They hit the ground running when they reach the workforce, even if they are put into Microsoft Office. For some reason, it's loads easier to teach people to go from Google > Microsoft than the other way around.

Your experience matches what I've seen with clients who go down the Google path. Lots of people find it painful - usually older employees who have been using Office apps since before the ribbon (Office 2003), when keyboard shortcuts were more heavily used.

I personally love Sheets for most tasks. I hate it as soon as we get to charts and advanced stuff, though. There's no getting around the fact that Microsoft has the edge (heh) on things like macros and charts.
