We all have a software that we like to hate. What is yours?
At my new job, we use Mentor Xpedition for PCB design, which I am told costs cool 6 figures on the free market, and the user interface is absolutely horrifying. I am genuinely baffled at just how bad it is, coming from an Altium background, which is less than 10% of the price! (granted that UI is not perfect either)
I wonder how you arrive at the decision to buy such an expensive piece of bloatware that looks and feels like it was designed by some hobbyist for DOS, it is dog slow and clunky, and if you want to, say, turn your schematic into a PCB, you have to open another program, which is even slower, and has an even worse UI.
I mean, if freeware is a bit crap, you deal with it, because it's free, but why is anyone spending that much money on that bad of a software?
