  Agreed! I remember back in the day when they first created the docx format. Such bloated garbage. I think an empty file was like 100-200 KB. And PowerPoint files are unreasonably huge too

    I remember seeing an article about how the xlsx format description was several hundred pages in length.

      That’s doesn’t seem unreasonable to me.
      It’s a hugely important format used by countless archived documents.
      We can’t just find out one day that nothing can read xlsx.

        Actually, nothing can really read xlsx expect from Microsoft themselves. They wanted to get an “open” standard so they could be used in European public administration. But they also did it in a way so that nobody else can really implement their whole standard.

        ODT format is way better than DOCX.
