Nadella-era MSFT is different from Gates- or Ballmer-era, and this is very good, but, as a Linux user and free software contributor, I wouldn't say I feel "loved". I'd say I feel MSFT is trying to somehow get advantage of my work (which is fine, given that it is free software) while holding back what I would like to have from them (specifications for MSFT interfaces and file systems, if not code, so that better interoperability can be implemented). Which is also fine, of course, they do not owe me anything, but still I do not feel "loved".
(BTW, I already have more editors and code hosting platforms than I need, so they are not good points for me)
