I gotta admit, Microsoft is pushing out some cool features that are widely accessible. I've been enjoying the Github Actions feature, Teams is actually getting my organization to stop using Sharepoint, VSCode is great, and now Excel is getting some nice function upgrades. We've come a long way from the 90s embrace-extend-extinguish MS business strategy (or are at least enjoying a period of embrace+extend).
- bob1029 5y agoAgreed - Teams causes me some pain, but it is something we are getting used to now. Let's also not forget about the current state of the .NET ecosystem. C#9+ on top of .NET 5+ is an amazing developer experience. Being able to contribute to the framework via any authenticated GitHub account is nice too. I find myself almost accidentally participating in Microsoft's issue threads simply because it is so easy to do so.
- plussed_reader 5y agoDisagree about the progress; See Winget. Classic bungling.
- lp0_on_fire 5y agoCan you elaborate how on why you think Winget is being bungled?
- meibo 5y agoMicrosoft has 181,000 full-time employees. There's probably quite a few teams in that company that never have anything to do with each other.
- maliker 5y agoIt’s definitely not as good as Chocolatey, but they realized there’s a need, and it’s a start.
- vondur 5y agoI think Teams creates a SharePoint site for each Team that is created. Kinda funny really.
