MS office PWA is nearly indentical to the desktop apps these days. I switched to linux where I use outlook and excel via pwa for work, and it's been fine. My M$ centered workplace is actually setting up an option to use linux on their laptops soon, too. I can't wait for that.
The web app is nowhere near as powerful as the desktop app. I need the desktop app for about 25% of my work.
Which one specifically? Outlook is identical, and excel is nearly the same. Excel is just missing a couple developer mode options like adding a checkbox to a cell, which were basically just gimmicky imo anyways.
Excel web app can't do pivot tables and a number of other things that the desktop version can do. Been a while since I looked though.
