Worst successful application (s) you've used? Things that make money despite being terrible at what they are supposed to be good at.

My company...

Outlook!

Jira. Not terrible at doing what it does. Just really difficult to get it to do what it does well.

well, that's a tough question. because there's far too many candidates. but basically: anything "enterprise".

but a special mention to azure. seriously. when they hired people to design the interface, did they look for "incompetent, sadist, hates performance"?

@tosensei and whoever designed the breadcrumb system deserves a Darwin Award. Of course, when I go to a resource quickly from the home page I definitely don't want to then view all resource of that type. I just want to go back home.

Sitecore probably.

Their financial success is based on a clever marketing and licensing strategy.
Despite the technical part and the tools being a nightmare for anyone involved in it except marketing people.

Salesforce 😅

Microsoft Teams
At some point somebody decided to adopt it
But there’s no actual benefit or reason to use it

@tosensei connecting to the azure portal can trigger epileptic reactions

@tosensei connecting to Azure when you've been removed from the AD that you last logged into when you're settings are to connect to the last one. The only way I could find to change AD tenant was to change it in the url. If you've forgotten the name of all other tenants you've got access to, good luck!

Jira and every electron app for sure

JiraJiraJiraJira...
At least the version we use has different date formats it accepts on differents forms.. Like a fuckin teenager in puberty.. I want a leading zero!! But not here.. just there and there and definitely not here, but you must figure it out on your own, cuz I certainly won't tell you what I want & I'll cry if you try yyyy/mm/dd.. -.-
