IMO, outlook is bloated. It has too many features that are either confusing or difficult to use. Microslop should have released a completely new mail app and given it a new providence along with modern features.
Think gmail but it would work with any email account.
Made with modern programming practices. Streamlined and zippy.
But nope.
They needed to create Outlook (new). Which they enshittified.
I fucking hate Outlook. It is stuck in the age of emails being the primary source of communication in a company. Teams isn’t any better. (Give me back slack please!!!)
But let’s be clear here: we (the users) aren’t Outlook customers. Corporate IT is. And from their standpoint, Outlook does exactly what they need it to do.
I’m sure a lot of the bloat is due to needing to make every single thing backwards compatible due to corporations using it and building tools with it for decades.
I’m going to disagree slightly.

LMAO
Gmail is fine for home use, but not for heavy office use. Outlook is a productivity application and needs to stay one, not just an email client.
