In this context, the Microsoft ecosystem (on an Apple OS and Apple hardware platform though!) would make most sense to me – however, Microsoft makes this impossible.

The reason is that, unlike some, I am not paranoid about the evil intentions of big tech companies, and my interest to deal with the lack of interoperability between these different ecosystems is zero. Strangely enough, my ideal is the same as that of tech giants like Microsoft, Apple, and Google: stay within a single ecosystem. There are programs in Microsoft Office I love (Powerpoint and Excel), programs that are good (Outlook), and again others I consider to be ‘ok’ (I find Word for instance hopelessly complicated). Both on my Windows PC at work, as well as on my Mac for private use. The core of my IT set-up, however, is Microsoft Office. Available on all platforms I am using: Apple, Android, and my Chrome Web browser Not the best (Evernote has much more features but useful version are not freeware OneNote is clumsy if you write entries in more than one language) Again: available on all platforms I am using.
