SharePoint really is that bad though (and I say this as someone who used to develop for it as a platform).

The fact that it's so widespread in our corporate culture is more indicative of how enshittified it is. Now, realistically, we might not be able to avoid it because of that, but let's not pretend that it's not shit.

It fills a niche. What’s else does?

Yes, it’s not great, but so what?

[croes]

How about using tools that do their job great instead of one tool that can do them all but none of them good.

It tells the company values price more than capability.

I asked in my company why we use SharePoint and the answer was name a better alternative. So I asked an better alternative to do what? I never got an answer.

If the objective is to put files where you can’t find them again, I think you’d be hard pressed to find a better alternative.

Except any plain file server that you can connect to via ordinary protocols?

Lotus/IBM/HCL Domino.

What niche?

[dijit]

The niche of trying to do everything and being good at none of it.

File hosting, web application hosting and integrating with Office.

What else? LaTeX Beamer, for one; Libre Office Impress for another.

[dpark]

You are confusing SharePoint with PowerPoint.
