    I don't think there is a workday that I don't curse at Microsoft Outlook's *TERRIBLE* design but I've never had a choice not to use it at my workplaces. Amazing when people say Microsoft shows how monopoly naturally dies. Nope, it rules and rules and rules, along newer powers.

        Yeah, you can kinda get around some of the edges with a lot of work, but that's not available to most people. Hence the persisting monopoly power. Plus, the IT people are not happy about the workarounds.

        Just take a moment to consider yourself cosmically lucky to have never used Groupwise.

        What's mind-boggling is the gulf between the design of the desktop app (unintuitive, unusable really) and the mobile app (my preferred email client on my phone for accounts that aren't even Outlook!)

        I've noticed that Office - as well as now charging a yearly goddamn fee - is also getting crashier and crashier.

        The longest-suffering living saints I know are a handful of Microsoft Outlook for Mac developers who mingle on a public IT Slack. They know how bad it is, they’re trying so hard, and they take the beatings with such grace.

        I've been at a company that has migrated off of Outlook before and the usual cycle is 1) Everyone complains about how terrible Outlook is 2) Everyone complains about how they can't operate the way they used to when they had Outlook. Amazing how ingrained it is.
