Ask HN: Why aren't vibe-coded clones of MS Office apps a Code Red for Microsoft?

2•amichail•30m ago
The craft apps will soon be good enough for daily use.

How will Microsoft respond?

There's been viable alternatives to Office for many years, and they're not just approaching good enough they're battle-tested and rock-solid and feature-rich.

But why would Microsoft respond? If you buy a new laptop or desktop it will likely be running Windows and that gives them many opportunities to promote and bundle their software.

You are trying to solve a network effect and platform problem with code. Alternatives exist, uptake is an going effort to consider large nodes in the network to switch (as Europe is doing, for example).
