And although I understand it can be difficult to deal with rather sweeping interface changes, after spending a lot of time with Office 2016 for Mac, I am very pleased with the clean, friendly interface and the consistency with the same applications I use regularly in Windows 10

Microsoft says its interface for these new Office versions is more like its cellphone interface

Excel works much faster, the interface looks better and the whole suit is very stable.

The version has cleaned up the interface, feels a lot more intuitive

It's hard to say for sure, but I know that the interface, which is number one for me, is easier to use for sure

The other applications seem also to be faster and the interface is cleaner but very little has changed in the overall layout.
