That’s all.

EDIT: Thank you all for detailing your experience with, and hatred for, this miserable product. Your display of solidarity is inspiring. Now, say it with me:

Fuck Microsoft

    Is there a Microsoft product that isn’t?

    To be fair, Teams is pretty bad even for MS. I’ve never seen something do so relatively little and still perform so poorly. When I switched jobs and got to use Slack it was like a great fog being lifted off of my being.

        Ah yes, you’re right.

        I guess a better qualifier might be: closed-source Microsoft products tend overwhelmingly to suck.

        TypeScript isn’t terrible. It’s extra work to set up, but it makes JavaScript codebases somewhat more maintainable.

        VS Code is OK if you can’t afford the JetBrains ultimate subscription. I never want to see a VS Code launch configuration again.

            Agreed…the community editions of their tools are solid, but if you’re doing cloud stuff, get your company to pay for it. It blows VS Code out of the water.

      Excel, Active Directory, and to a somewhat lesser degree MSSQL.

      I must be the only one who prefers Teams over Slack. I just don’t like its design. Nothing makes sense to me in how it operates. But then again, Trams runs fine for me. No slow downs or deleting things that others have mentioned.

      C#, technically not a product but it’s pretty great. The first few Xboxes, but that’s going back a bit.

      Windows pre 8.

      Microsoft Excel is goat for spreadsheets.

      Erm. Can’t think of any more.

        Windows 8.1 was great, you just have to enable the start button and disable Metro. It’s basically a faster Windows 7.

      I have an old Microsoft brand thumb drive that fits perfectly into my ass and makes me nut every time
