It is a HUGE improvement.

I used the publicly available fluid preview for a while and it is miles better using word for any kind of collaboration. I have since gone back to using Word for collaboration and I despise it. I feel like pulling hairs off my scalp.

I would say it is a competent new tool that gives you everything that notion did, while leveraging the kind of integration microsoft already goes well. The improvement is particularly noticeable not just because the product is good, but because what it replaces (word online) was so incredibly bad.

Disclosure - I would put a disclosure about my employer here, but don't want to be seen publicly bad mouthing another actively maintained product by my company.
