   Bad Software
  Hiya,Here at work I use some really poorly designed software to do the bulk of my job.  Actually, working with the software is my main job.  Therefore, it's a pain.I do simulation and use software called "ProModel".  It is terrible and is known to crash often on the PCs that we use.  The PCs are poor, but to be honest I don't care.  For the amount of cash paid out for licenses, the software should run much better than it does in terms of stability at least.  I will run a simulation 30 times a day on test days, and it will crash 10+.  That's not a good ratio.It takes forever to read the Excel sheets it uses for input.  It has a very lacking interface.  It can't run simulations in realtime.  Their support staff has no answers for you.  You can't copy and paste using shortcuts on the interface items, even basic stuff like background images.  Um, I could go on for 10 pages and will probably edit this later.Now, you may say I'm picky somewhat, but dammit it's version 7.0 of the software... it's not a small package!!  It's a widely used package of software as I am told.  Why is this thing allowed to be released!!!!!!!!!  SIMPLE 2D modeling!!!!!OK, so who else uses crap? haha   
  The department I work for has intergrated it's website into a CMS they call teamsite. I think it's horrible. It takes forever to do everything and I can't even access the pages without working in their interface.Most of the time I develop my own applications to avoid having to do bulk work. It's great, got me the title of the laziest guy on the 6th floor ;-)   ;  I won't say what software this is, so no big details. The company that makes the editor has been at it for more than a few years, they have more than enough finances to hire enough programmers for this editor, they are reknown in the industry and loads of people swear by it.The software IS powerful, I'll grant it that, but I go through at least 10 crashes a day. Most of the time by performing tedious tasks such as: moving the mouse cursor too quickly over one particular toolbar/window, selecting more than ten objects, autosave, etc. Certain essential things that have been around for a decade in competitor's editors is for some reason absent here, in this Nth version of the editor. Little stuff like autosaving without warning (every five minutes, unconfigurable) while you're dragging or selecting objects results in weird fuckups that force me to remove objects back by hand (I'll get to undo in a sec). The least they could of done is turn the cursor into an hourglass two seconds before autosave so I can stop what I'm doing, but even that seems to be complicated! Don't get my started on the Undo feature, it's hardly funtional, if it doesn't crash the editor anyway. The software is powerful and can do amazing things! Really great stuff! But the editor is abysmal and makes babby kittens explode every second it remains unfixed. ;)
