    I have MSoft365 subscription.

    The decor is sparse and clinical, with no way to soften or color
    items. Check this with some one else's.
    It is harder to find things with everything in black & white.

    The Outlook365 freezes occasionally, then restarts after "sending info
    to MSoft"

    The Access365 Zoom box changes size all by itself until it fills the
    whole screen. Use the MS Notepad instead.

    There are few advantages at my useage level.

    In my opinion, it largely depends on what you want to do. If you plan to continue using your existing Access databases with no interface changes,
    it should be seamless. There are new options such as Zoomboxes, but some
    have experienced problems with them. I don't know whether the problems
    are with the options or the users.

    oooopsie.... I am still using Office 2007. There is not much if
    anything in the newer versions that I feel like I am missing. It did
    recently start complaining that it was no longer supported, but frankly Microsoft stopped providing reasonable support for their users in the
    late 90's.

    For me as a retiree hobbyist, that is mostly puttering around writing
    apps for myself, I am standing pat.

    Just today, I fired up VB6 (yes I am that old) and wrote a simple four function calculator app that handles VERY large integers without ever resorting to displaying the results in scientific notation. It can
    easily handle integers that are well over a hundred digits long, so the
    horror of your calculator of displaying your net worth in scientific
    notation after entering a long column of numbers is now gone forever.
    As a bonus it also displays the results in English words. So if you
    ever have to cut a check for a few Quintillion yourCOre covered.
