The problem with Excel is that it was written before the M/S GUI became standard, and so nearly all of the keystrokes are count-intuitive.
I use it rarely these days, but when I do, I spend hours swearing at its clumsy non standard GUI interface.
MS Teams: What makes it bad: First of all, it uses Electron, thus it is laggy and wastes too much resources. Maybe it is just a pet peeve of mine, but I hate , if an application does not look native on my GNOME Desktop and does not follow any HIG. Another factor is the proprietary nature of MS Teams. If it was open, there would probably be some other client/some way to have a real native client. My preferred alternat…
As much as I hate Electron, Teams is an insult to Electron. There are Electron apps that are tolerable - Teams is not even that.

I can’t replace it yet, but the day w…
Every website with cookie tracking. Which is every website. Anything electron: massive hog of resources and will never be rewritten on a nonbloated platform. Every single package manager and scheme still seems fundamentally broken and are bad compromises. But there's no money in fixing it so it will always be broken. I salute people doing the thankless work of packaging OSS and language libraries. You are fighting th…
Sounds like you don’t like computers.

Out of interest what do you not like about the whatsapp app? The core functionality seems pretty solid to me.
I meet someone. I want to send them a WhatsApp message. I should be able to type their number into the “To” field, type the message, and press “Send”. Instead, WhatsApp makes me create a new contact in my phone, going through the 4-5 button presses to do that. Then I can start a chat with this new contact. Massively inconvenient.

Paste this link(after putting their number) in a chat with yourself (https://wa.me/your-number-with-the-country-code) and just click the link.
Adobe suite. After effects, illustrator, inDesign etc Adobe in the above fields of design are industry leaders, and have the features & functions we’ve come to rely on. Adobe’s pricing model has become very aggressive, and quite unaffordable for lots.
