What's the Worst Program You've Ever Used?

^ I found all of those void or funny.

Firefox isn't much faster than IE until you hit a well written site like this one or you've properly configured it and added attachments. After that, you really, really, REALLY see a difference. You'll hate yourself for using IE. Plus configuration only takes about an hour, at which point you're probably set for life.

I agree with Quicktime.
What kind of a goddamn browser plugin can't recognize tempo changes in midi files!?

edit: An hour of configuration? My firefox was greater than IE right out of the box, so to speak.

there are a few that i really hate

outlook express
firefox
quicktime
gimp

gimp has crappy features and theres like 4 diffrent windows

firefox is the slowest browser that i have ever used

quicktime is crap compared to windows media player

outlook express is a useless program that just takes up space. JUST USE AOL MAIL!!!

but the WORST program in the world is AVAST it made my computer so much slower.(until i deleted it)

Ok, well, you can think what you want. (quicktime is annoying, though)

Photoshop:
Mainly, because it's a pretty normal program, that Adobe "wants" you to think it better than the rest...and it's like 300$...also, Dante, Paint.NET is better than GraphicsGale, in my opinion....

Outlook Express, for that matter, Windows in general.

Vista (present day, the one before Home Premium), everyone of my best fucking programs aren't compatible with it.

Arwym · August 07, 2007, 01:30:05 AM

Internet Explorer is the mother of all shit. O_O

I liked GIMP, but the interface is too complicated. Yet it is possibly the best image-editor that costs $0.

People say MS Paint sucks, but I actually find it useful as program for simple drawing, doodling and oekaki stuff.

I don't like programs with extremely complicated GUI's and lots of cool graphics. Why make it look pretty and shiny? Who cares about that? I mean, I think what matters is if the program works fine or not. Let it do that it has to do, and end of it.

As for programs made by programming noobs, I gotta agree. Especially when it's a PHP application that requires user input and MySQL support. Don't release a web application that is going to get your website hacked in five minutes, for God's sake!

IE sucks. Oh, and I can't stand the version of Finale I downloaded... I mean bought. *whistles* I'm saving up for the 2007 version of Finale, which hopefully works better. It mutes itself. I don't know how, or why, but playback just stops working after like 5 minutes of working on a song. You have to close the whole program, then start it again.

Firefox is the fastest browser I've ever used.

Internet explorer, defiantly. it's a piece of shit browser that isn't customizable in any way, it comes with all these tool bars and shit you can't get rid of. Internet Explorer 7 won't work correctly with Comcast High Speed Internet, and it's so fucking slow. Also, microsoft tries to force that shit on us. I bet Bill Gates uses Firefox.

solid_snake · August 27, 2007, 12:58:36 PM

I hate windows media player!

CartoonFan · August 28, 2007, 06:50:36 PM

The worst program I ever used... is Microsoft Paint.

It sure as heck isn't any Photoshop. Not even in the same league, in fact, it's a whole bunch of leagues behind.

Nooo. Why I love paint is it's absolute simplicity and total non bloatness.

If you want those things, use a program designed for that. Paint.NET is pretty good, and is a nice compromise between barebones MS Paint and behemoth Bloatoshop.

Paint is good for making sprites and icons. Pixel stuff. It's a powerful tool when utilized in the proper way.

CartoonFan · August 28, 2007, 08:59:02 PM

I needed another program to make icons with, but I suppose paint is alright for shrinking things, and pasting something on top of something for a quick laugh. I'm not saying paint sucks raw eggs, I'm just saying that it sucks more than anything else on my particular computer. I'm actually pretty certain that there are worse programs out there, but I haven't used them.

BitTorrent

Shittiest warez program ever.

Works perfectly fine for me. What sort of internet connection do you have?

yet it is the worst program you've ever used?
Check out the icon shop, there, we make high quality sprites using MS Paint.
(Also, I prefer it to Photoshop, but GIMP is my favorite...Photoshop lacks certain tools I like...)

tSwitch · September 14, 2007, 03:39:25 PM

I would have to say the worst program I've ever used corresponds to the worst programming language I've ever used

Dr.Scheme...

ahref · September 18, 2007, 04:56:12 PM

so AOL managed to place a shortcut on my desktop from somewhere no idea why but meh. It reminded me of AOL and how annoying it is to remove their services i once had to do it for my father and it took me absolutely ages.

The whole topic is pretty long ago, but Paint is definitely effective. A case in point is Bio's pixel-drawn star scene.

Jesse 015 · September 18, 2007, 08:57:38 PM

My worst program would have to be... Vista

Kokowam · September 18, 2007, 09:17:57 PM

That's an operating system, buddy.

All RPG Makers.

While all of them have had great potential, THERE is always that feeling something or something(s) vital is missing.

I mean you can see the potential, but if it was so great why isn't it being fully utilised, there is plenty of people to do it..... it's been around long enough..... but I don't see much success?
