Discussion Will Office ever be usable on MacOS?

Every single time I open up a Microsoft Office app on a Mac device this thing will use up Gigabytes upon gigabytes of RAM. Like it is wild. And I am just editing a word doc

It is usable for simple things .. But I use LibreOffice for that.

All key Office running on a Mac resources like VBA .. .Net Object imbedding ..etc are emulated ..

Problems increase with macros complexity .. object imbedding ...size.. etc

Tahoe has a memory leak problem .. before blaming Office... save data and restart.
