MicrosoftVery good note, captures a lot of cluelessness in this lock-step-without-thinking move that Microsoft Office and OneDrive seem to be having on the development of OneNote, if not all of Office itself.
It is unfortunate that the author of this article, who no longer works on the OneNote team, has either chosen not to care about their legacy, or if they’re passing this along isn’t bothering to spend 5 minutes to update the users here. Similarly, if the OneNote team is getting this feedback, they’re equally “care less” about letting us know that the message has been received and they either are taking it into the development process or they simply don’t care.
Small secret about Office: Initiatives like cloud services that are pushed heavily from on high rarely get a challenging word from people who are more concerened about how their accomplishments have lined up with “important innitiatives” than they are with being an advocate for their established user base. This is doubly-true for application/feature creators who move from a product or feature team to another “unrelated” team. They’ll score zero points for focusing on their old work instead of their new tasks.
So the hope here is someone still on the team might fall across this lenghty, passionate, and aged thread and consider taking action.
And in the meantime, hopefully someone will come up with an alternate product (cross-platform if possible) that we can use as this product slips further and further into a state of uselessness.
