For me it's...

  • Visual Studio Enterprise (VS Code with a hundred plugins still doesn't come close)
  • SQL Server Management Studio (though with extensions, Azure Data Studio has gotten me pretty damn close)
  • Full-featured Office 365 software (Edge web versions are somewhat sufficient, but not quite there)
  • Teams with multi-tenant. The desktop Windows app lets me quickly switch between the 6 orgs I need to, unfortunately on Linux I have to have 6 different browser profiles and use the web version which just doesn't fly.
  • More responsive RDP. Unfortunately for server management I'm juggling 3-4 RDP instances daily and I'm not typically allowed to install AnyDesk or VNC or anything. I've tried a couple RDP alternatives and there were just all sorts of problems from keyboard issues to rendering issues to general sluggishness.
  • There is one weird VPN program a job forces me to run and unfortunately it isn't available on Linux.

But! All the above said, I run Linux and have a Windows VM. And I also run Windows and have a Linux VM - so it's almost there for me. If work & clients all ditched Microsoft's ecosystem, it'd be a lot easier for me to but, unfortunately, they pay my bills.

Probably never gonna happen because Microsoft has an active interest in making it not happen

There is one weird VPN program a job forces me to run and unfortunately it isn't available on Linux.

Knowing the VPN I'm forced to use I'll just make a blind guess that the VPN you're forced to use doesn't support IPv6 either, because actually providing a product instead of an overpriced relic apparently is really difficult for Enterprise VPN Companies.
