I'm pretty heavily in favour of the Microsoft 365 platform, but loop has not found a spot in my toolkit at this point. I'd rather just use OneNote.

I get that these tools are supposed to make collaboration easier, but it really doesn't add much in my opinion.

That's not a sentence I ever expected to read, I'm curious as to what makes it heavily favourable in your opinion?

I think most of the sentiment I've seen towards it before ranges from indifference to apoplectic rage

While there are some frustrating parts I've found that it gets the job done reasonably well and integrates well across the products. I'm a power user so I can often find workarounds for even the things that bother me. Teams communicates well, sharepoint stores the files for my group just fine, office does what it always does, then I get these other useful tools for forms, databases, video sharing, etc.

I think the biggest problem for most people is that they never received adequate training. I trained myself so I skipped that limitation.
