That's not inherently a bad thing, it just doesn't work for you.
Android doesn't sync with any program on any operating system, and
requires you to send every detail of who you know and where you'll be to
a humongous company.  That doesn't work for me.

You are wrong on some points, though.  I manage my contacts and calendar
 through Outlook when I don't do it right on my phone.
