  • The problem stems from Microsoft products not working with each other in the way you would expect. I don’t mind SharePoint and OneDrive both existing - they have different use cases, but add in teams for accessing files as well, and it all gets very complicated, and things start not working like you think they should.

    On a personal level, I find most Microsoft products a confusing mess these days. Outlook on browser is insanely awful. The ribbon thing in office is just random.

    The one thing that hasn’t terrible is VS Code. It does get a bit random in places, but mostly it’s pretty intuitive and nice to use.


  • The interface is terrible and nothing works like it should. Example. So I’ve got a shared folder which I set up in Teams and I mount it in OneDrive. I used OneDrive to populate it, ignoring the folder called “General” because what’s the fucking point of that? You can’t delete the “General” folder which seemed odd. So I’ve been happily sending out links to documents in my file structure, not realising that my colleagues had no idea there was even a folder structure there. The reason? Fucking Teams defaults to showing the empty “General” folder so people think there’s nothing there. I can’t move stuff into it because it would break the links. I can’t create a shortcut because they don’t work in teams - it just downloads a file when you click on it. So I’ve created a file in “general” with the title “click on the link next to the word General above to get to the files.txt”. Very professional. And don’t get me started on the miserable abomination that is Outlook.

    And people have the absolute fucking gall to say that open source UI is bad.
