Microsoft Launches Office 2019 For Windows and Mac (theverge.com)

Microsoft is releasing Office 2019 for Windows and Mac today. The update is designed for businesses and consumers that haven't opted into Microsoft's Office 365 service with monthly feature updates. The Verge: Office 2019 is essentially a subset of features that have been added to Office 365 over the past three years, and it includes updates to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Project, Visio, Access, and Publisher. Office 2019 will include a roaming pencil case and ribbon customizations across all Office apps. Microsoft is also bringing focus mode to Word, alongside a new translator, and accessibility improvements. Morph transitions, SVG and 3D model support, play in-click sequence, and 4k video export are all coming to PowerPoint. According to VentureBeat, which cites a Microsoft executive, the new versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook won't receive future updates.

Microsoft launches yet another all-grey cannot-discern-anything UI abomination.

FTFY.

Compare Office 2019 to the last sane version of ribbonized Office, which was 2010.

Sure, Office 2007 upped the max row count for Excel to 2^20 instead of 2^16, Office 2010 get rid of the god awful binary blob format for documents which resulted in about 90% fewer file corruption issues. Outlook has gotten better with each release.
