Ask HN: Why have Microsoft products gone downhill?

4•MichealCodes•2h ago
Github Copilot is almost unusable with all the bugs being added alongside the features. Poor UX decisions like clicking in a code block jumping the scroll or forcing a completion to wait for a animation even after the entire response is returned.

The code merge feature will get stuck to a point where the entirety of VS Code must be restarted. If it works and doesn't just randomly remove massive chunks of code or endlessly repeat itself in the file.

Plus the recent news about criticals being introduced at the OS level and ongoing introduction of user hostile UX like forcing cloud accounts instead of local only setups.

What's up with Microsoft? Is it the leadership? What needs to change to get back to quality?

They had to scale back all the instances when they used openai as the llm (GitHub copilot) and now they are using their own proprietary model which is just ok at best.

If they are going to lose the LLM race, at least they could invest in building a great frontend to interact with the non-MS models to capture a share of the revenue... Right now their frontend is one of the worst AND their model is one of the worst.

microsoft wants to silo its users and lock them into a tablet like subscription service, this is just a very old MS tendency, to wake up for a second see what competition has been doing for the last few years then emulate with facepaint on it, and take a snooze again.
