[Banter] What is the worst software you have used for its price?

Microsoft Office, Excel especially. I mean... wow... I recently had to start using it again and... oh dear lord... Single undo stack when multiple sheets are opened, can't have multiple sheets with the same name opened at once, the CSV import simply does not work properly, putting any decent amount of data into a graph will explode the bloody thing*. Microsoft Word somehow manages to lag* on a document with four pages and one picture, but at least the bloody thing is synced with the cloud. Microsoft Teams does the same thing as a host of other programs, but somehow manages to have a 500 MB footprint in the RAM and when you have a call your computer tries to fly away with all the fan activity.

* - on a PC with 16 GB of RAM, i7 processor, very decent recent machine that has no problem with other intensive tasks

Lotus Notes. What a pile of garbage. I don't understand how they ever managed to sell that heap of manure to any corporate customers.

Oh, and SAP. In Germany we call it "Sanduhr Anschau Programm" - "Application for watching the hourglass".

At my new job, we use Mentor Xpedition for PCB design...

That's funny, the first thing I thought about when I saw the thread title was Xpedition :D

Microsoft office often lags when used with mouse which has high polling rate, like 333Hz+ and becomes abysmal with 1000Hz. Also IIRC also has a similar issue when monitor has a high refresh rate  :palm:.
