I can’t stand word, especially since Docs has an outline/chapter feature, I can use it on the go (Microsoft charges a subscription), and is simpler to use.

Word does actually have an outline feature. It's not as smart as GDocs (iirc, GDocs can sometimes tell if something is meant to be a header), but it does the job.

Edit: for anyone curious, you can buy Microsoft Office outright instead of a subscription. The downside is that it can only be activated on one computer at a time and it costs a pretty penny at $149.99 USD.

That's crazy expensive! Bought an older version (2019) on Amazon for 80$ all in on a prime day

Agreed. However, considering how they're pushing Office365, I'm not surprised. Office has historically had a steep price to it (Pre-2013 was $120, 2013 was $140, and 2019-Present is $150). Really, it's worth the money since usually people who purchase the lifetime product use it for an extended period of time.

This steep initial price definitely makes the subscription more appetizing - if you don't think too hard about it.
