The problem is that you come to a prestigious place like Microsoft and end up using horrible outdated software.
Credit where credit is due at my time at Excel we did improve things a lot (migration from Script# to TypeScript, migration from SourceDepot to git, shorter dev loop and better tooling etc) and a large chunk of development time was spent on developer tooling/happiness.
But it does suck to have to go to one of the old places and use sourcedepot and `osubmit` the "make a change" tool and then go over 16 popups in the "happy path" to submit your patch for review (also done in a weird windows gui review tool)
Git was quite the improvement :D
