My thoughts too. I've always hated pdfs because they struggle to load, while word opened fine.

One caveat... online browser based word processing can't handle truly long docs, the browser chokes on it. Maybe people are running into that if companies take everything to the cloud with word 365 and google docs.

As a long form writer, I hate online word processors.

I got sick of loading times for Acrobat reader so ended up installing SumatraPDF for something more lightweight for general viewing. I only use Acrobat now if I'm planning to print the PDF.
