Software, that sucks
andre
So, what is the software that I hate the most? The list could be long, but some applications are internal to places where I worked and are unknown to the rest of the world. From the familiar to an average Internet user things I can mention:
- Picasa - I already wrote about my feelings toward this bastrad child of Google
- Windows Media Player - I think its interface is not suitable for music playing and it consumes too much CPU time.
- Outlook Mail - it is really beyond me, why they cannot create a decent tree-like view of letter threads. Even their own Outlook Express can do it. I wish I could use something else at work
- Lotus Notes - this most ridiculous piece of garbage has found its way onto corporate workstations only due to IBM’s powerful marketing. It’s unusable even on modern machines - both from GUI and performance points of view
- Java (I can imagine huge virtual tomatoes thrown in my direction) - I still don’t understand why Sun cannot have neither proper performance nor normal graphics for GUIs. There are quite a few nice frameworks and libraries in Java, and I myself have made good living from programming it, but it doesn’t cause me to like the language and its current implementation anyway
To be continued, for sure…
