Isn’t it.

> “It's such a fucking basic feature. To de-select a single row out of a group that is selected. It's the single most counter-productive thing ever.

Probably not as counter-productive as throwing away thousands of person-years of learned skill and experience because of some Linux fanaticism.

How is “it’s not as good but we can patch it until it’s equivalently buggy, people will get used to it” any compelling reason to change over?

How is “but but I hate microsoft” any compelling reason to change over?

And the techcommunity.microsoft thread from 2018 announcing deselect has people who used that “multi-click makes a cell darker” feature and are bothered that it’s gone.

> “Microsoft charges enterprises and governments substantial amounts of money for, and provides precisely dick for support in return.

You mean like that feature you were crying out for and then found that they built? That kind of nothing?

Or like how Office 365 has collaborative editing and LibreOffice has a page saying it’s been in development since 2006 and isn’t ready and linking to an old mailing list post from 2020 talking about deprecating he API they had built for it, as the latest update?
