They create a dependency to them by forcing the employees to invest days of work to learn how they work. And then the sunken cost fallacy kicks in.

Never really liked Confluence... I cringe every time I see experience w/ it being mentioned as a requirement / a plus in job postings.

Hmm.. I just used it for project documentation. I added some headers, images. It was nice for me and it allows the stakeholders to have one place for documentation.

I respect your opinion, although you're actually the first one ever to praise Confluence. Sure enough, it is one place to gather documentation. But so is a garbage heap. -
CaptainRant441711h@TerriToniAX I'm not praising it. I haven't worked enough with it to see its downsides. lol

Confluence is called so because it is confusing. It's a prime example of a tool getting in the way for work instead of helping. In Swedish, we have the expression: "Rätt verktyg gör halva jobbet", meaning the right tool does half of the job. Tools from Atlassian do the opposite, they only double the workload.
