    Gmail is functional at what it sets out to do, which is send and receive email.

    The sender is not expressing privacy concerns, they’re expressing functionality / utility concerns.

    Fair enough, still seems silly as hell to me. Windows is perfectly functional for corporate, and even software development use as long as the team managing the image and standard settings at your workplace is competent.

    Yeah, being able to customize everything to meet your preferred workflow etc with Linux is preferable.

    it is not. it can't even do such simple thing as sorting the inbox by the sender's name. it may seem functional to people who never used real mail client and were brainwashed into accepting this as the only available ui, but it is really not.

    Odd to use it as part of job hunting though, which is the context in this image.

    not really... when job hunting most people have to spam the world with CVs and nowadays that also includes registering in a ton of shitty services so you can post your resume or get contact info... once hired, you would use the company's email so whatever you provided first is usually irrelevant

    Sure, but kind of silly for someone who would take a stand against MS to the point of refusing a job to be happy with Google.

    Then again, they also expressed they'd be happy with Apple/Mac
