I asked someone in our teams meeting if they were having issues with their outlook today. What followed was a 5 minute hate fest on outlook. I'm not a big fan, but was kind of surprised so many people genuinely hate it.

If you could create a real world Outlook, it'd become the new Office Space fax machine.

Office on Mac is like malware. It brings the system to a halt.

The worst part about Outlook is the broken search. In the world of infinitely smart AI, the e-mail search in Outlook is embarrassingly stupid.

It’s not just that it’s stupid. It’s broken. It can’t handle email that is on the server and not on the machine, and they’ve configured the app to store most email only on the server.

That choice is also so stupid. Why doesn't Outlook just store the text of every single email on all devices. The stupid software needs gigabytes of storage, why can't it spend a couple of megabytes on making e-mail actually work.
