The Intel Management Engine (IME). The most oppressive piece of software ever written makes suckers out of all of us. No amount of campaigning to Intel cuts any ice. Nobody is big enough or powerful enough to get rid of it.
Anything Atlasssian. Jira, Bitbucket, confluence. Just frustrating to use, poor UX, and slow. Business types love them however. AWS. It’s UI is honestly baffling, it feels and looks like someone made it in a rush with jQuery and Bootstrap years ago. It’s login and identity and resource management is confusing, and apparently you need a chrome extension which adds a bunch of complicated options I don’t really understa…

Don’t agree with you about git at all, I find it’s one of the few tools I work with that behaves expectedly and gets out of my way, if you want that workflow of stash, pull and reapply a stash why not make an alias for it?
Dropbox. I've used it for a decade, but now it's slow, bloated, and takes over CPU and memory like there isn't a single other program I need to run... and I was paying $20 for the privilege. But a few weeks ago I switched to Syncthing[0], and it's the best software transition I've ever made. Opposite of everything Dropbox is now: fast, simple, and I don't even notice it running in the background. Seamless setup, and…
My problem with Dropbox is the client would silently fail and stop on my Windows boxen. As this was easiest (UI-wise) way to share docs quickly between my wife on her windows box and my various Linux/Windows boxes, this was a deal breaker. Also moved to Syncthing. And equally happy.

As far as I can tell this is a demo EMS from Intersystems, they provide Cache [1] to companies developing real EMS with modern user interfaces. They don't sell this product in the USA (so not to upset their customers), but have dumped it on the rest of the English speaking world.
I suspect here is some sort of NDA with those unfortunate Hospitals taking this pile of stinking £%^£" as I have never found a user group or trustworthy review.
I get to use it at ground level (talk about poor UI), at management level (no coherent db integrity, very poor reporting) and have seen a complete inability to reconfigure the system to cope with COVID.
When ever we see demos for new clinical system I always ask "Would those coding this system accept this level of quality/usability in their daily software tools?". The marketing guys look at me like I'm from another planet.
I know "you get what you pay for", but for something hundreds of thousands of Hospital staff will be using for patient care (we don't bill in the UK), there should be a floor below which no company should offer half-baked dangerous products. Trakcare is in the sub-basement.
Sorry, but everything listed here is rank amateur stuff when compared to Blackboard Learn ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackboard_Learn ). First, the user interface is designed as if the programmers were incentivized to maximize the number of clicks required to get anywhere. Second, it has the responsiveness of continental drift. Third, editing and formatting text is an exercise in torture. When I want to delete t…
