    In my experience they either look horrendous or are less usable, maybe even both. It’s not an universal truth tho and it has gotten better in de past couple of years.

      For me most proprietary software both looks horribly ugly and less usable, form what I’ve seen at least.

        I guess it kind of depends which kind of proprietary software we’re talking about. I’ve had the displeasure of having had to use both salesforce and Microsoft AD and with those you’d be absolutely correct. Been a while seen I used either tho

          If I’m editing more than one object in AD I almost always use Powershell. It was one of the main motivations for me to learn it in the first place.

          It’s so obvious it was a GUI made for what was once a back end tool that wasn’t meant to be fussed with all the time, but then had more and more features slapped on top over time. And don’t get me started on the integration between AD and On-Premises Exchange Server. I don’t think I have much more than a 3 hour long exasperated scream in me about that bundle of fuck.
