I worked for a large financial (~80,000 employees) that decided to move to Notes from in-house exchange servers well after it was obvious Microsoft had won the productivity wars. Rumor mill suggested it was brought in at the direction of a board member who just so happened to have close interests with IBM.
It set overall productivity back by at least 5 years before executives were forced to make a very decisive and quick move to O365. The reason given were scalability issues, the overwhelming cost of purchasing P-Series hardware (6-digits for one server) by the rack to keep up with demand along with the cost of developers attempting to make something useful for all of the different business needs.
Last I checked they are still stuck with some small, but essential work being diverted through Notes despite the move back to Microsoft.

That doesn't make it perfect. Mouse themes are applied inconsistently as I use Gnome on Wayland. It also seems to be a problem when using neovim, but I can't prove it clearly enough to want to file a bug with anyone. Besides, everything I need to do still works and I rarely use the mouse unless I am copying random gobs of text.
I am sticking with wezterm for the moment. I have no reason to leave it at this point and it helped me reduce the complexity of my stack a teeny bit.
I actually rode the C&O trail a bunch of times in Scouts and with my grandparents as a child. I think these are great for any skill level, including beginners. The biggest advantage for me is the fact there are very few roads you need to ride on. Because they are typically on old railways, or canals, they are usually not steep grades (though don't let somebody tell you "it's only a 6% grade!", because it sucks going uphill for lots of miles).
You can split up the trails in to day, weekend, or week-long trips. Especially on the GAP and C&O there are plenty of camps, towns and stops along the way to support yourself on the way. On my 2012 trip a guy caught up to me and tolerated my slowness for a bit. He was planning to finish the Pgh to DC trip in 3 days.
I've been contemplated riding the Erie Canalway, but my love for biking was ruined a bit with a bad case of achilles tendonitis after my last trip.
