    I feel like people will give a pass to the shitty elements of Microsoft Office, etc. but then harp on the tiniest issues with open-source software.

    Kind of reminds me of a recent election…

      It’s just like for Windows , but we’re so used to the software that we’ve learned to work around.

      When you switch, you are met with productivity loss and learning new quirks, which makes the experience less than stellar.

      In today’s context, for the vast majority of people, if it isn’t easy to use, they won’t use it because pretty much every app and software has become plug and play (except niche software that looks like windows 3.1)

      A company I worked for has had such a bad experience with the Microsoft business suite that they actively avoid using any MS products at all costs. They started offboarding a year ago and they STILL haven’t managed to get rid of everything

      It’s probably because they know nobody’s listening to their complaints about Microsoft.
