Sharepoint’s problem, as parent alluded to, is that it’s three kids in a trenchcoat pretending to be an adult.

At no time did MS seem to say “Here’s our vision for Sharepoint as a complete product.”

Instead, you got coming on 25 years of random big customer feature asks + a home for lost MS product bits.

It would surprise no one that performance of that has been atrocious for most of its life (for those not old enough, think non-functional search and 20s page loads for on-prem instances), salvaged only semi-recently via the cloud managed version (that I’d guess runs on a ground-up backend reimplementation).



"At no time did MS seem to say 'Here’s our vision for Sharepoint as a complete product.'"

100% bang on.
