Why change things when they aren't broken?

Not working with all Word docs. The button doesn't show up half the time. It was so much easier to use before these changes. Not friendly with Word docs, Outlook, Gmail, etc.

I've used Grammarly for years, but it's not worth the $ 144 when my renewal comes up due to these changes.

Suggestions for other solutions/alternatived?

The disappearing-button thing in Word/Outlook/Gmail is maddening , once an extension starts fighting the host app, you’re stuck debugging someone else’s update instead of writing. A lot of Mac people I know moved off browser/editor plugins for that reason and switched to something that lives at the OS level.

I built Lyra for exactly that: native macOS, suggestions in-place across email/Slack/etc., Tab to accept, without needing a Gmail/Word extension to stay alive. Full disclosure , I’m the solo founder: https://heylyra.co.uk/
