That’s depends on your job. If you’re a line chef or florist, then you probably don’t use Word much. But that doesn’t mean MS Office isn’t still heavily used in other industries.

I think our florist sent a word doc with the proposal details for our wedding arrangements. I wonder how many catering contracts and menus are designed in word also

This is a moot point, but line chefs wouldn’t be the ones writing menus or signing catering contracts.

Otherwise I think we’re in completely agreement.

Why not? If it is a small shop, Word has all the features both simple and intermediate ones (like putting shadows on images or removing background). So a 2-5 person businesses can handle their digital needs at very low cost.

The alternatives usually implement limited set of features (Google Sheets) and/or terrible outdated interfaces (Libre Office).

		It’s not about Words capabilities. It’s because a line chef’s responsibility wouldn’t be to create menus let alone manage catering contracts. You’d expect that more from the executive chef. Perhaps also the sous chef. This is why I said it’s a moot point. Because It’s not really about MS Word.
