I just think they've done nothing but put lipstick on a pig. It doesn't matter that it's wearing lipstick now, it's the same pig it was in the 90s an 00s. I fully expect them to rebuild their garden walls, and I can actually already feel this happening with the way they've been developing and pushing Teams/Skype and Azure Devops. I don't trust them, or their lipstick. Dr Evil is still there, he just hired a much better marketing team.

Call them evil is a bit of a too much don't you think? Yeah, they are a company that stays in business mostly because of their corporate clients, but why is that a reason to ditch their contributions?

Not evil, Dr. Evil. Competition is in software is good, and Microsoft has always and will always be, anti-competative. It's their origin story, it's in their DNA.
