It’s Microsoft. What else did you expect ?

Some software is really nice though, their todo app for example (im serious)

I guess the Wunderlist team is more competent than their Teams one.

Yep they’ve managed to make a product that is only a little bit worse than Wunderlist, after buying Wunderlist

I just checked it. Kinda surprised that Microsoft To Do doesn't have natural language support like Wunderlist.

I also prefer Outlook to all other email software I used (including GMail). At least to me it's always been fast, powerful, programmable, configurable, etc. Same goes for Excel, a great piece of software with more impact on the business world than probably any other software.

How is Outlook programmable? (asking) Is it still via vba or something newer?

Visual Studio (normal one on Windows) used to be great before they packaged it with bloaty extras that slow everything down.

Vscode is great yet with each update it gets more buggy than its fixed. Let's see how many years will take Microsoft to turn Vscode into crapware too.

Yes, i.e. Wunderlist (RIP):

Google told me Wunderlist had natural language support. Microsoft To Do doesn't.
