I recently started using VisiData and it's amazing.
Most customers don't want their users saving locally anyway for data protection and not having to do extra compliance and workstation management.

There are other ways, if you have to use it but don't want to give Microsoft money. One way is just not to activate it. Almost everything still works. There are also ways to get cheap keys or activate it for free.
A better way is not to use Windows, but not everyone can avoid it all the time.
I don't think that's necessarily a bad idea. Too many people are still not backing up their data, and the article says "...automatically save to OneDrive or your preferred cloud destination".
As long as they really give users full freedom to choose any cloud service, I consider that a win.
