I probably won't have this place long enough to replace them, but would
lean heavily toward big-window french doors instead. Downside to those, of
course, is lost floor space inside for swing and standing room.

Standard for French doors is out swing . . . ..


Probably for interior french doors, but the OP is asking about exterior
french doors and they swing in. It would be very hard to open an outward
swinging door with 3' of snow packed up against it.

I haven't seen but a couple, and they all opened out. BIL has two in
his house - both out swing. One installed only about 5 or 6 years
ago.
