The Wired article https://www.wired.com/story/calibri-default-font-microsoft-moving-on/ https://www.wired.com/story/calibri-default-font-microsoft-m... is even blunter! The product manager explicitly says the only problem with Calibri was that it was boring.
(I was amused when, discussing the new fonts on IRC and whether boredom/novelty does indeed drive most sales/commissions/redesigns, someone recommended Butterick's Triplicate as a better font for coding, and the other person bought it then & there - and then said they'd review how much they liked it, just as soon as they figured out how to install new fonts...)
