Totally agree that it's strange. I hate Microsoft MORE than the next guy. I will never get over the company they were in the 90's, and funding the SCO lawsuit against IBM. And I view the warm, fuzzy "Linux-friendly" Microsoft with high-levels of skepticism. That all being said, I have a couple of larg-ish, cross-departmental apps running on Azure infra, and I find their portal to be very good; a mile ahead of futzing around in AWS. (Of course, I understand that AWS was designed to be CLI-friendly first, but I don't need to deploy fleets of similar objects at a time.) So I can't fault Microsoft for Azure. I actually like it. One of my apps is a Rails app (with all the attendant nonsense) and one is the backend of a Windows-native app, and the integration with Visual Studio for deploying services to their cloud really is nice.
