A software developer compares Microsoft 365 to Google Workspace after switching companies, highlighting numerous UX issues and architectural problems. Key complaints include Outlook's email-based meeting system, the confusing SharePoint/OneDrive relationship, overlapping functionality across apps, and limitations with group management.
