Is Apple's software getting worse or what?

Re: Preview

Duplication where there should be one canonical version. Duplication results in multiple versions of a file often badly named. Far better to have one canonical version with versioning build in

Wrong. This assumes that every person in your work orbit has the same softwares and versions that you do.

Admittedly this assumption is common in Apple users.

I am a big user of versioning using "filename_2017_03_29" naming, and using an older version of MS Office file types that I know will open on any computer sold in the last decade.

Lord rescue me from the latest and greatest, like the XPS form sent to me this week by a bank. Neither LibreOffice or Office 97 in a Windows VM could open the stupid thing.

However much I dislike Adobe, PDF always works, on any machine.
