It doesn’t seem that shocking that “avoiding vendor lock-in” is behind “most useful tool for my needs”. The latter is essentially necessary for the former to even be a blip on the radar. However, I’m pretty sure that I wouldn’t want to use some Azure-only data science tool if there was a slightly rougher-around-the-edges open source alternative. And this would be precisely due to vendor lock-in / caprice.
