This is certainly a troll post. I use all three cloud providers. GCP is the worst of all, just try their simple text to speech UI. It doesn’t work most of the times.

Don’t even get me started on a deployment story for GCP their deployment manager is deprecated and redirect you to use terraform.

I hate to swallow it but Azure was more usable and straightforward.

There is no world where Azure is more usable and straightforward. Just my two cents.

Azure has had multiple global outages for many services. I believe you can look at overall stability and see it's not in the same league as GCP and AWS.
Lol can you use ed25519 keys with Azure yet? I doubt it. It was and will continue to be a joke because MS can't pay or promote people that care before they leave.
Azure’s target customer group is non-tech enterprise. The type of group who generally buys solutions over builds them in house. Where needing ed25519 keys is not a common ask
Azure is like if a raging tire fire had a baby with Windows UI
Do a lot of people really use the UI of any of the cloud services? Most people want managed infra, which means at least cli scripts if not terraform.

Not arguing the Azure UI is amazing, but it’s low on my list of concerns personally for cloud services.

Yes. Most of our infra is setup using the Azure portal. MS customer satisfaction engineers constantly recommend we set up things using the portal.

AZ CLI is also terrible for interacting with Azure.

UI for r&d, terraform for long term ops
And.i don't?

I have over 10 years of experience across all cloud providers and you just assume I'm a troll?

That's not a way to have a discussion in good faith...
