Don’t really care what they call it, I’m not paying a subscription for software or running anything in the cloud that could just as well run locally. The fact that there are decent open source alternatives means they can do all the dumb shit they want and we don’t have to care.
Unfortunately, it's not really an option for most professionals. They don't get to choose what software their organizations use, and are stuck with Microsoft products.
Fair point, although if I don’t like what my company is using, I often install open source instead. Sometimes, that’s not feasible to your point.
