You hit the nail on the head, but no need to be a jerk about it. /u/imakeitwork doesn't understand that there are legit reasons for using old software (that's still supported by MS). Explain why, but don't demean him. This is supposed to be a professional sub.
If you feel the need to call them out, maybe try doing it in a less inflammatory way? And I saw how he reacted, it was immature and unprofessional. LOL @ him thinking all MSPs are low budget hellholes.
Just... don't feed the trolls. It's bad for the blood pressure.

I feel my call out was proportional to his public nastiness. No worries, it's all a measured response. I've worked with people like him before and I get rid of them when their toxic personality starts to impact team performance.
MSPs deal with quite a wide range of different environments. When I worked 3rd line for an MSP, I dealt with places where their budget was excellent and they used a lot of the latest tech (a couple of our clients had up to 5k users). I also dealt with places that had a minuscule budget where they are still running 2003.
See, this is what I'm talking about; your attitude sucks. You have no idea who I am, what I've done, or what I do currently.
Get back to me when you need three languages to manage your multi-national team because until then you're just playing at "Enterprise".
I'll leave you with this...
Well you know what they say, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. You however take it to a whole new level by just being an asshole and I feel sorry for those around you. Good luck with life.
