Genuine question: is your comment satire? If not, that's hilarious, I find myself on the completely opposite end of the spectrum. To each their own!

Seriously, I absolutely can't stand the azure ui. I don't think the AWS console is great, but it is definitely better than the Azure one to me.

At least the Azure one lets you see all your resources, so you can verify you don't have something you're paying for unexpectedly.

That would be good if I could acquire resources in the first place. Even Oracle Cloud makes more sense (if you've ever heard of it)

Oracle Cloud was (and possibly still is) deleting random accounts (it was all over their subreddit at the time).

I wouldn't have believed it, but while testing out a server for a business, they deleted my account, and didn't reply when I emailed support about it.

Oracle did not even accept my credit card (the same I pay AWS and Scaleways with). So I missed that part of the experience.

That would have been nice, AWS kept sending me bills for $0.00, and after multiple tickets over a couple years, I finally deleted my entire account due to how pathetic their support was (they never figured out which service was active, and I couldn't find a way to figure it out using their UI).

AWS is actually great once you spend few dozen hours in the service. If you are using the service for the first time GCP feels a lot smoother but then you begin to see corner cases and everything and GCP just breaks in those. Azure is bad the first time and gets worse over time.

My experience too, I could never find anything even if I know it's there, and I was told by my boss to use it. I stand there for a half hour, credit card in hand, then go to AWS where the equivalent can be located by mortals. It's like they don't want anyone's business.
