> Can you give me an example of such advanced features?

macros, vba, onedrive/sharepoint/office integration

I think you highly underestimate the Microsoft Office ecosystem and the tight integration in enterprises.

nope.

I'm in the EU and (nearly) every company runs windows (on desktop). Especially in larger organizations (there's plenty of windows servers still).

I don't know why your definition is _the_ definition. A sociopath can be self aware.

I only wanted to mention that certain IDEs still used today are not coming and going but have been around for decades and are still more or less the same (keybinding, etc).

Maybe I just don't understand your comment - even translated it still confuses me tbh. (I'm not a native speaker). Sorry if you feel offended I guess.

My first java IDE was Visual Cafe by Symantec 1999 - and if I remember correctly I started using IDEA around 2002 (and still do - incl. Rider, etc).

Intellij IDEA 1.0 was released in 2001 - is still in active development - and as far as I know the keyboard shortcuts are still the same (depending on the configuration one chooses)

The first Microsoft Visual Studio release was in 1997. XCode was first released in 2003.

Soulseek was pretty sweet - people would chat me up when downloading an album they shared and ask if I wanted anything else they hadn't ripped yet - or recommend something similar.

It was more like napster though and not torrent based iirc.

I was barely on OiNK. Got an invite and I think 2 months later it shut down :/ But I used waffles quite a bit. (I didn't like what.cd for some reason)
