There really is quite a shift going on. For years, every time we asked for enhancements to the portals in SQL Server Reporting Services, etc. the response was that “we already have a portal business and it’s called SharePoint”. Now all the SQL Server directions are away from SharePoint, back to native implementations.
Even most of my SharePoint friends are mostly pushing SharePoint Online now.

But the “who uses SharePoint?” question kinda implies that SharePoint’s been superseded in all areas that it does (document storage, workflow, calendaring, collaboration etc.). So, I’m not asking for a ERP system, or a CRM or something that people might have shoe-horned into SharePoint before. But just looking at SharePoint’s core functionality (document lists, Office integration, AD integration etc.), is there anything that people are flocking to now that is, arguably, superior to the way SharePoint works (whether it be scalability, ease of use, extensibility, 3rd party add-in support, whatever) I realise this is a bit vague, but I’ve only just started on this, so I haven’t yet compiled a list of requirements yet.

Trying to work out what it gives you and so far it looks exactly the same as the Home version except its more expensive. Perhaps business support is the extra? I'm currently using the freebie given to me via my msdn account and its great. Its called Office 365 Developer Subscription. Its not documented anywhere that that is, but it says I'm using Office 365 Personal except I have +1 install (2 total) when compared with the real Office 365 Personal product. I have a few more machines than that, and have decided to drop Dropbox (its in the name... they have been telling to do it all along...) and make OneDrive my main cloud storage. So wanted a couple more installs (and figure if i'm not paying for Dropbox anymore that can pay for Office 365. Going to go with Office 365 Home, but curious what the Office 365 Business Premium gives you. They only compare it with the other Business products, can't find a Home vs Business comparison. Not one that spells it out...
