We’re in the same situation, the real work has to take place behind a firewall. Don’t get me wrong I do like the new interface but never going to use it online. If it helps Mathworks develop the product because it is all the same codebase then good for them, but robustness does need to improve.

Ah! I now see my mistake. I didn’t look at Microsoft because I thought it was an article critical of it. I didn’t realise they were pushing it as a good point, “look we may be shit but we’re not as shit as all the other systems”.
