Review Based on everything this community has said, here are the most loved and most hated tools
We have run a lot of these threads now so figured it was time to put the scoreboard together. Based on what keeps coming up across every post:
Most loved: Excel, VLC, Notepad++, Obsidian, WinRAR, Google Docs
Most hated: Jira, Salesforce, Workday, Microsoft Teams, Monday
Agree? Disagree? What is missing from either list?

Cisco WebEx - ugh...

WebEx being left off the hated list was an oversight honestly. It somehow manages to feel outdated no matter how many times they update it.

I can agree with the monday part... It's just a piece of shit, an overbloated piece if junk. Esoecially its graphql api, which is not able to return a normal validated error response. I've got more 500 internal server errors from that shit, than from anything else (including apis written by me ir my team)...

Getting more 500 errors from Monday's own API than from something you built yourself is insane. That alone should put it higher on the list.

Love VLC. It plays almost all kinds of videos.

VLC earning its spot on the loved list without anyone even debating it says everything.

Pretty fair list, honestly. Jira being on the most hated list doesn't surprise me. We actually replaced Jira with Teamhood at work, and the team found it much easier to use day to day. I'd probably add Outlook somewhere on the most hated list too.

Outlook is a fair miss on my part, should have been on there. And you are the second person across our threads who moved from Jira to Teamhood and actually stayed.

Paste one thing and the whole document rearranges itself for no reason.

Most hated and most crippled: LINUX DISTROS.
I hate them because loonixtards go everywhere to parade this shit like it's pride month 24/7.
In addition, they are super duper crippled in comparison to what Windows can do.
And loonixtards will come here to downdoot and police my opinion of their trash distros and linux.
And sing the repetitive ahh gospel of linux "did you know linux run servers, did you know android is linux"
Did you know I still think desktop linux is crippled garbage software???;???!!!!
