<p>I can tell you 3 things Microsoft do well</p>
<p>1. Office (even 365 is better than most other offerings)</p>
<p>2. Hardware their keyboards an mice are great</p>
<p>3. Active Directory they must be doing something right with this
everything connects to it (phones (including apple), tablets,
macs, linux, servers.....)</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>All the people I currently work with and others are persuading me
I need to expand that to include VS Code. Their points include
things like great git integration, code completion, debug tips,
most languages covered and most important for devs fast.</p>

</p>
<p>I just don't code enough to care. GIve me VIM!</p>
