There’s a few products that I feel bad for the devs and people associated with. I really feel bad for SharePoint devs because it doesn’t seem like it should be as horrible as it is.

Like everything simple (let’s make a wiki tied to AD) is twisted around to make it complex and confusing so it’s lock-in forever.

The per user cost for SharePoint is like $100-200/year. Think about that for a minute. That’s really high for a wiki. And cheap for an enterprise knowledge workflow. But it sucks so hard if you want users to create, collaborate, and share info.

Not disrespecting your pain, but I'm guessing you never had to do serious work in Lotus Notes.

Good point. The last time I used Lotus Notes was 2010. I hated it, but it seemed to be constrained to its e-mail nightmare world. SharePoint, since it’s nominally web, gets stuck into everything.

Comically, SharePoint makes me tolerate Confluence and Salesforce more.
