We’ve gone a long way down that path already. But the recent Cambridge Analytica revelations show what a horrible path it is.
Money isn’t everything.

Maybe, but here is an interesting counterexample:
The Airbus CEO on why they chose Google G Suite instead of Office 365:
“He claimed Google’s G Suite was “built from the ground up” for collaboration, and Airbus’ traditional tools in use were based around Microsoft and email.
“We want people to fundamentally reconsider how they work and move away from old ways of working, like sending millions of emails around,” said Hennekens.
“It is a lot easier to achieve that with a tool that, from its conception, radically breaks with past ways of working and past concepts, rather than working with a tool (Office 365), that is a step up, but still in many ways is similar to what we’ve been using in the past.”
“Interestingly, Hennekens was previously CIO at Qantas, and joined months after the company had deployed Office 365.”

That’s not the only thing. Like the current big few dominant media companies in the U.S., most of the online tech giants, media, social media etc holding the majority of information/digital market will merge into just a few, most probably.
Secondly, unlike current media, the future few dominant digital and software standards will have to be taken up by everyone as it’s not just media consumption anymore but tech protocols.
Thirdly, the real data nightmare will be when within a few decades the various versions and finally the sole version of a full AI takes over.

I would have stuck with OneNote if:
1. It had a future on the desktop
2. Allowed me to keep all my files local on the desktop
3. Had full feature parity with its Windows counterpart
True Confessions: I am a constant reader/data junkie/digital packrat. OneNote met my needs for personal knowledge management very well until I went Mac only. But I get it. Microsoft is a big company with multiple paths and different goals.
As I start digging into Devon Think Pro, the interface looks a little “old school”. But thats ok, I’ve been working on systems for the last 40 years. So I guess I’m a little “old school” too!

I liked the last great version of OneNote before it was replaced with the appy minimal bimbo.
I think the MS Calendar/Outlook team got jealous and killed it off as a potential distraction/diversion. They can’t compete with Google Calendar/Keeps/G-Docs/G-Drive etc. Instead of integrating it into the online suite they killed it.
MS does occasional disaster releases, like the alternative crappy Windows major releases which is a famous joke now in memes.
The good old OneNote version didn’t have the clout to be resurrected in the dinosaur corporation. It is well and deeply buried for good. I have the last good version, but what’s the use of investing time in it when I know this parrot is dead.
