  The first example in that doc is Sublime Text. "Unfortunately the only thing going for Sublime was that it was first-to-market with a few novel ideas, most notably multiple cursor editing." That was clearly written by someone who hadn't used Sublime. Then Github is mentioned as making money from the data they collect. You need to understand Github is Microsoft. From our perspective they make money from the enterprise agreements for security and code analysis they offer through Github. That is what pays for people's free use. Finally, the article closes with Word and Excel being useless. As much as I dislike those programs, they work. None of the free alternatives can share files without there eventually being unfixable file format problems. When working with your boss, you need to use the same program in order to share files. None of the alternatives work.
