The (bookstore) inventory software from MBS Systems. The college bookstore I worked for switched to their software and just about everything was shit. First off, the transfer of our old system's database outright failed. It was so bad that we wound up doing it by hand; we printed out all the book and sales information, then manually entered them into the new database. To expedite things, I think we skipped any book we hadn't stocked in maybe a year, and everyone had to come in on a Sunday. We never worked on Sunday before, not even for our fiscal year end inventory.

While it did use the graphic display (our old one used the text screen.) it wasn't a GUI interface. Rather I think it was really outputting to the text screen then converting that over to the graphic screen, substituting for some characters so it would show nice boxes framing sections of the display. Within the software I think the mouse was useless, no buttons to click, and you couldn't even highlight and copy the text. One day there was some sort of permissions error and the graphical overlay failed, dropping the software it into a text mode. It was actually more usable as a result since I could highlight & copy text off of the screen.

Some of the text fields were obnoxiously short, like the item title. Our textbook department had to come up with some convoluted codes to convey what the item was. ie. If it was bundle, if it contained supplemental items, etc. And I think the sales data it stored for books was lacking in some ways too, but I guess I've blocked out some of those things.

>Internet Explorer 6 and older versions
It was ok until I was introduced to Opera 7 and features like tabbed browsing. Opera kept getting more advanced while IE just stagnated for years. I also never thought that 10 years after quitting using it I'd end up in a job that would require me to support IE6's shitty behaviour.

>Window manager on OS X Snow Leopard
I had to use it for a week once. I was very shocked since all the mac users were telling how nice OS X is but in truth simple things like maximising and resizing windows were missing or burdensome to use without 3rd party tools. I hope they have fixed this in newer versions.

>Microsoft FrontPage
WYSIWYG HTML editor seemed like a good idea but it just produced garbage and it was easier to write it by hand. I guess others agreed since it got discontinued quite quickly.

>X.org
You'd think we could expect tear free video and garbage free window resizes in 2016. Xorg.conf tweaking and multi monitor support were hell over the years but luckily these have been mostly fixed. Can't wait for Wayland to take over.

>Nero burning ROM
It was such a compact and nice to use burner software until they started adding all the useless bloat. Kinda like uTorrent has evolved.

I've used a lot more shitty and buggy programs over the years but these have been the most memorable. Writing this has made me appreciate how high quality software we have these days and how easy using computers has become.

It's you who don't know how torrents work, sir.

You only have to download blocks that contain pieces of the files you want. Torrents avoid chopping files up into more blocks than are necessary BY DESIGN FOR THIS EXACT PURPOSE. Any remotely decent torrent client can do this without allocating the entire torrent.

You two are giving me flashbacks to my phone center job I just left.
We were an inbound call center for a major retailer - people would call to place orders, complain about orders, etc.

We ran HP thinclients using Citrix.
The phones interfaced with Cisco Agent Desktop.
The main sales software ran in SuperDOS... except one department that ran Siebel.
We used to run Lync but were """upgraded""" to Skype for Business.
We ran IE 8, and weren't allowed to use a different browser.

A standard workload would be Agent Desktop, 2-3 SuperDOS instances, IE 8 with 4-6 tabs open, Siebel, and Lync. All running through Citrix on a 5+ year old HP thinclient with 1GB of RAM.

Jesus Christ, LabVIEW fucking sucks. I was on the school robotics team in high school and through a series of events, LabVIEW was chosen as the primary language because *one* try hard faggot sort of knew it. The rest of us (all C++/Java experience) were basically told to fuck off; our implementation was infinitely more reliable but people insisted on letting one fucker with LabVIEW cuck them.

They switched over to Java (with vision processing in C++) the year after I left because of how much of an abortion LabVIEW is. The only thing I can imagine as even "OK" about LabVIEW is that it's inherently parallel. Other than that, it is painful to use in any other regard.

Forget the name but was for analysing zeta potential and particle size.
After running a test you could save the file but you couldn't determine where it was saved or what it was called so instead you just ended up having a single giant folder of files which has everything test saved into it. These files are pointless anyway as you can't open them to get any form of data. The entire process to be able to extract a usable data file was so convoluted it was easier to just write everything done and type it into Orglab yourself later.

Gimp is so bad, I upgraded from a copy of Micrografx Picture Publisher from 1996, messed with Gimp for a few months, then went back to PP4 or six or whatever. Now I have decade-old copy of PP10, still better than gimp.

I used to have massive issues with iTunes 2-4 years ago. It runs good enough now that I can at least add music to my iPhone.
MediaMonkey also works okay for this, I realized.

I know what you mean with foobar. I've downloaded it a hand full of times, with hope of actually using and enjoying it, but every time I uninstall it, realizing how shit it's UI is, no matter what components you install. It being a light process is the only positive. Now I only use MusicBee.
Gimp is shit too. It can get the job done, only after hours of pain and frustration.

I do techsupport for dell and we use something called Delta, which runs on a siebel framework via citrix. If I'm explaining it right.

This piece of shit software is a fucking monster. To give you a general impression the thing is designed like one of those coding languages that are convoluted on purpose because it's funny.

It's designed in a way that you have to click things in a certain order, and if you don't you'll get pop up windows that don't work, are slower than just typing shit in manually, and generally are hard to use. If you don't follow the right order, you'll get stuck in a sort of loop where it asks you to do action B before doing action A, and if you try to do action B first, it tells you that it can't because action A hasn't been done yet.

There are text fields that are in different screens. These are always editable, but only in certain screens can you actually change them.

The thing is slow as fuck. Every click takes anywhere from 1-10 seconds to load a new page, or dropdown menu, and multiple times a day the thing will just sit there loading something you clicked on and nothing will happen no matter how long you wait. People who made the software, or dell I don't know claim that this is due to network issues. But recently I've found that if you resize the window out of maximized mode, the program will suddenly stop working again. You just have to keep working from a smaller window. Sometimes even then it still crashes, and you need to make the window even smaller. Sometimes making us work with windows that are 1/10th the size of a 19Inch screen. What's even worse is that because the program is so badly designed you have to sometimes scroll down, to find a horizontal scrollbar that lets you scroll sideways, because a dropdown menu was more on the right and you could only click on the little button to open it.

Seriously, why THE FUCK does window size have any bearing on whether a program experiences "network issues"?

Those generally have the worst UI's and the most insane and complicated workflows, with piles upon piles of arcane legacy and proprietary ways of doing certain tasks piled upon each other.

e.g. Lotus Notes 6. don't know if they still use it, but in 2012, my work then was using it, as where a lot of our big clients (i.e. world renown car manufacturer, or very well known softdrink brand…).
How the hell did anyone still use that in this time?
Our IT even had to do some hacky workarounds, to even get it to run on W7.
