    I do believe that MS solutions lately are becoming more and more gimmicky.
    EMET was easy to setup and bulk-control - WDEP is cumbersome.
    CP was easy and powerful - the system settings is cumbersome.
    Skype 7.4 had multi-chat window options - Skype 8 is a toy.
    So this might follow in the same vein.

    Because the software ecosystem had always worked that way.

    Until someone comes out with a viable Outlook replacement Office isn't going anywhere. It's the main reason I keep it.

    What about Thunderbird, is it not a viable alternative?

    I don't believe Thunderbird supports EAS (Exchange ActiveSync). eM Client does.

    Thunderbird with Lightning extension (IIRC it is installed by default) can sync calendar over other protocols. Thunderbird also can be configured together with LDAP to sync address book.

    That may be, but what does that have to do with EAS support?

    Outlook.com/Hotmail accounts work best using EAS in my experience. IMAP works poorly with these accounts.

    My employer offers huge discounts on major office releases through the HUP (Home Use program), so at $19 cdn for Office Professional Plus 2019, it's an offer I couldn't refuse, especially that it's non-subscription.

    Yes, we did see it coming. I'll be using Office 2016 (with perpetual license) indefinitely. The last straw will be if/when they try this with the OS.
