if it fully mirrored control panel, or had fully exclusive functionality, i wouldn't care much, but as is it is a half-assed user friendliness thing, i agree

"don't show the backstage" doesn't stop excel from always showing you the backstage whenever you save as a document

the backstage is stupid unusable poo poo garbage compared to the pefectly serviceable save as dialog we've seen for 20 years, and it needs to be burned and pissed out and beaten with dead rats

impressive that the macOS office version is better. cmd shift s brings you straight to a good save dialogue. saving as a PDF also doesn't open the PDF immediately which is a nice touch
