When you are used to WinWord since 1995, Office 2010 is a PITA for
usual edition: the style short-cut/rolling selector does not list all
the available style, you have to expand it full size (as a size panel)
and it's not the same list. And the menus are all
"redesigned/reorder"... Reorganising windows of 2 documents is
difficult to have them side by side (and it engages "sync-scroll",
always, which is  good for different versions but suck for document
that are not identical but you want to read side by side (such as High
level & low level design))... 3 windows side by side ? forget it, no
more possible (or give me the way to do it: yes, stacked you can have,
but not left/center/right, using the mouse would be cheating )

And installation sticks to activate auto-correction and other
misbehaviour. (I know how to get «, I do not want Word to replace my
input of " with « because it's more fancy... especially when it's
code). And auto-capitalisation of first letter at start of sentence is
bad also for code.

The docx format is painful also: being a zipped xml, but without
internal management of versions, it is hardly compatible with any DCMS
(well, unless each version/commit become a blob by itself, with the
associated problems of disk space and bandwidth).
