try to open sreadsheets, especially wide/big one, and you will love it even more. I literally have to do non intuitive moves and fall back into gdrive or claude docs.
Yes I feel the same way. I even prefer it, it maybe looks a little dated but it's a denser UI and doesn't waste as much space on my screen.
