@polroc@mastodon.social Of course, as tools like Next loud catch up, that may change. But I find it hard to completely criticise a service that's popular because it's good and that is incentivised to continue to improve. @ProfessorPootis@guild.pmdcollab.org @glaber@mastodon.green @thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social

@polroc@mastodon.social That's a really difficult one. MS Office is bad because it traps you in a dreadful ecosystem through the myth of "compatibility" which they reinforce by making their products deliberate obscure. Google doesn't do that, but they do trap people in their ecosystem by making it actually bloody good, and difficult to replicate in any other way. @ProfessorPootis@guild.pmdcollab.org @glaber@mastodon.green @thelinuxEXP@mastodon.social

@polroc@mastodon.social What I truly do not understand is companies continuing to use MS 360, even switching to it from Google Workspace. It's a truly awful and second rate product from my experience, and everyone.I know who is forced to use it complains about it.
