That's true but that has absolutely nothing to do with types in programming languages; it has more to do with MS's culture of always favouring backward compatibility and never culling any features in every version.

The new Office suite are unbelievably buggy and slow not because of backward compatibility, but because of numerous useless "features" Microsoft added which made the software essentially bloatware. By the time Excel opens up on my Mac, I can open several Google Sheets and start working.

Has Teams ever been good? From the first time I used it it has always been one of the worst pieces of software I use.

Office seems fine to me - not great software, but I haven't noticed any particular decline (not a heavy user, but have been using it since Word v2 in the 1990s)

And in any case what does this have to do with Typescript and the (over?) use of types?
