I have this @work. Takes a while to get used to from changing from Microsoft Excel and Word to this.
It can crash from time to time, especially when attaching a file into email.

Other than that it works....

Need this!

Used it for a while, but found it hugely unreliable. i colour-code a lot, and that type of formatting often just disappeared without reason.
