I used Excel daily for my job for years and I always said it was Microsoft’s only good product they made. I can see AI being helpful for suggested formulas, but LLMs can’t accurately perform math by predicting the next word 100% of the time. Plain ol’ regular Excel had its quirks, but at least the math was right. Which is why this is a bad implementation of this.

I’d vote for Active Directory being a solid product. If you’re running a fleet of Windows machines, accept no substitute. :)
To forestall any comments about alternative auth schemes; If that’s all you think AD is, you don’t know AD.
Regardless of the quality of AD as a product (it’s mostly good but has a lot of questionable stuff…)
It has been the sole driver of LDAP + Kerberos standardization over the last 20 years, and has excelled in that despite its flaws.
