I'm worried Azure is getting too large to handle. It's like outlook, where 3 clicks and lead you into the old UI from the 90s. Microsoft seems addicted to breadth of features instead of quality of implementation.



AWS is pretty huge too - thw list ofnaervices doesnt fit on my screen!and half of them are half baked!


Just like all other cloud vendors, unless we are speaking about mini cloud offerings.


sorry how do you mean with outlook? is there really a way to remove the "modern" design and unveil the 90s beauty beneath?


Not the OC, so not sure exactly what they meant, but if you go into File/Options it would recognizable to anyone from 20 years ago. But I would say the same thing about the equiv. screen in Photoshop. There's continuity in applications that have been around for decades, and that's not necessarily a bad thing.


The number one screen where you're exposed to it is in the filter configuration screen.

Sadly, there is nothing resembling beauty in that screen. It's a multi-page wizard that attempts to guide you through what should be a simple filter commandline to a frustrating exercise in in trying to convince the tool that yes, I do want to filter on an email address that is not in my address book.

It's from the era when the Internet just started becoming popular, and having hyperlinks instead of buttons was being introduced for no good reason at all.
