I'd like to know if anyone has anything nice to say about Sharepoint. As a user I find it miserable in all browsers, and have obviously avoided doing anything with it as a developer.


It's better than staring into the computer as if it were a dark abyss, screaming and longing for a way to build something. It's easy to discount how useful this is for people who really have no tools or means otherwise (not that more specialized services like, without loss of generality, Wufoo, aren't way better). The general discontent has to do (mostly) with 'Sharepoint Engineers', which is a bit like having someone build a house with legos.


I guess a regular wiki is too much to ask for...

(For the omg-cryptic-markup crowd there is always Google Docs. I seriously wonder why that hasn't crushed all trivial Sharepoint instances yet.)

Its marginally less of a total failure for issue tracking than Excel.

I'm not sure that that counts as something nice.


Edward Snowden's last job was a Sharepoint administrator, IRC.
