- Google products.

- - Gmail intentionally doesn't filter spam or phishing emails.

- - Google Voice used to be useful but today is being blocked by more and more services.

- - Google Contacts is pervasive and uselessly so.

- - Google Calendar also supports tons of spam and phishing.

- - I stopped using Chrome because it stopped being a user agent.

- Atlassian products. Slow bloated pieces of privacy violating garbage.

- - JIRA is more and more confusing every day. Frequently changing UI incurs cognitive costs. Its workflows are confusing af.

- - Confluence is functionally inferior to Media Wiki. That's not even the worst part; the worst part is that it doesn't use markup like the rest of the world.

- Microsoft products.

- - Skype. Once upon a day Skype was nice and usable. Today Skype is functionally, measurable, objectively less useful and less stable than it was just half a decade ago.

- - Github. It was great until a few weeks ago. That new UI is still worse.

> Gmail intentionally doesn't filter spam or phishing emails.

my spam folder is fully of spam and phishing emails. no idea why that doesn't work for you. i see essentially zero spam in my inbox (and i have several extremely public email addresses)
