The second article is bluntly about switching yet also fails to realize that certain productivity tasks are better served by other products than MS Office.

I would guess that that wasn't mentioned because it's not relevant to the point of the article or its intended audience.

The author is not only locked into his productivity suite, but also in his mindspace. Sad.

Or maybe he's professional enough to not indulge in editorializing in a review.
