> but I cannot switch from Google's gmail, docs and drive to anything.

Until you:

- Use Google Drive and its subpar desktop experience of sync'n files (OneDrive is far worse, but Dropbox+MS Office beats it out)

- Experience Gmail's hostile user stance against non-Google calendaring. (1) Automatically creating Google Meets for every invite (or did they fix this recently?) and (2) the terrible formatting that gets sent to non Google-based accounts that gives me the "fingers on the chalkboard" feeling every time it gets sent to my O365 based email.

> I hate MS login page and endless redirects between their services

100% agree.

> Also I have feeling that MS account is more "formal", idk how to explain it.

Agreed. And I feel like anyone who sends me email/cal invites from GSuite are essentially amateurish. Can't explain it either.

Desktop experience? This isn't the 2000s grandpa.

There is no web substitute for Excel yet, especially when you get into bigger files.

Because at web scale you don't use individual files.
