Solidworks. Have to use it to export my Gcode, but I prefer Inventor. Also, dislike Edge but it performs best on my Surface, just without extensions.

None, I tend to write my own software for things I need. Generally if I dislike software, I won't use it, come hell or high water.

 

I don't like Google Hangouts and do use it from time to time, but I don't need it.

We have to use IExplorer at school :| .  I put chrome on a USB stick and tried running it that way, but the computers are setup to block running any .exe files from anything other than C drive.

 

Also, Origin is a piece of _____ .

PrecisionX from EVGA

 

MSI Afterburner doesn't let me change voltage so I'm stuck with this dumb program. It makes typing super slow for 1 minute after start up, and my SSD's have 1GB read so it's definitely the app :(

Alienware Command Centre. It's more of a neutral to lightly sour and buggy relationship on my laptop (Alienware 14x R1) just so that I can properly use the FN key to remove a CD from my optical drive and turning off the keyboard lighting to save a few mins of battery life. Since my computer is kinda slowly dying (The HDD crapped out and had to be replaced 3 times. Ouch) and play like basic Valve titles such as portal, tf2 etc. I decided to uninstall it and now stuck with a permanent green backlighting.

From top of my head (meaning I'll add stuff later)

Win10 - Worst accessibility yet.

Google Play - Just because.

Steam - I like GOG.com most.

Skype - MSN Messenger FTW.

AppCenter (Gigabyte driver updater) - Crashes daily basis.

Speedfan - Seriously, why can't they make modern and easier to use UI???

Facebook mobile - It gets bigger in file size and uses ton of battery etc.

Firefox mobile - Because LTT forums don't work with Dolphin.

Zoner Photo Studio (free) - Because Google messed Picasa.

TP-Link network printer driver - Its just bad. And I can't auto-connect scanner.

^^^^ That's my post ^^^^

What do you dislike about OSX and IOS? I honestly think they're so simple and well made -- atleast compared to Windows. If we could have game support & DirectX on OSX, I'd be living in a dream world. 

you're dealing with a power user here, my issue with those two is the very limited access to backend details, and a (purposely) bad documented backend at that.

 

apple aims their devices to people that bring them in for repairs, i am that person that when a device breaks out of warranty pops it open and fixes it with whatever i have laying around.

 

also, i know one guy that uses OSX, i also know one guy that has told me he had 8000% cpu usage, and no real way to troubleshoot what the hell is going on.

i'd use iTunes over foobar if it wasnt that locked down and apple device oriented.

 

last time i tried putting stuff on my ipod touch with itunes i spent 2 days figuring out why it didnt take a movie that i added to the library.

 

turns out apple cant deal with .wmv, and doesnt bother telling you either.

I saw all you ppl talking about your programs, so I decided I would too.

VLC (on mac)

IOS 9.3 

 

I hate VLC on mac (OS X el capitan) Since the layout is terrible and it's quite confusing. It misses some features of the windows one (I CAN'T FIND FILE DIMENSIONS *cries*) And such, it's been a pain in my butt a lot but I need to format files and I have a macbook so I'm stuck with it.

 

The iPhone OS 9.3 I hate simply because I can't remove the mandatory shiz apps and I don't want to jailbreak (again -.-) since I don't want to spend time on that.

For me it is Jedit Skype and Itunes, but for mobile apps Xfinity TVGO it takes 10 minutes to load a video and if your network disconnects midway through the app crashes and you have to restart and watch 5 minutes of ads to get back to where you were and their web based player causes flash to crash constantly as well

Microsoft office.

I use amazon music, having prime I might as well (I'm too stingy to pay for a better music service). But the program is horrible, the app is slow af, sometimes music playback just stops for a split second even with downloaded titles and you can't combine your prime music with your own music in a playlist or anything...

It has improved however since I first tried it and as it is still quite young I'll just keep hoping...
