Software I'm forced to use ==> What I'd rather use * Windows ==> macOS * Jira ==> Trello * Stash/Bitbucket ==> GitHub * MS Office ==> Google Drive * Box ==> Dropbox * Outlook ==> Gmail * Skype for Business ==> no chat system In almost all of these cases, one person (or small group of people) made the purchasing decision for many more people. Likely this was based on price, not utility. I consider myself lucky that I never have to use Internet Explorer ever. Some people have to use it every day.

I will second you on Skype. I have to use it at work. It's now the defacto corporate conference call software at my office and my voice is consistently dropped during conference calls. I'm forced to always disconnect and then reconnect all the while hearing the, "You're on mute. Are you still there?" refrains from my co-workers. I'm not alone. It happens to everyone! It's crap. We used to use global crossing along with a software package and it was FLAWLESS. F*^K skype! Now I will say I'm also using the USB microphone/headset combo - that may be contributing to my problems. But still - WTF? That shouldn't be an issue. If it is - don't build/sell crappy hardware!

  Desktop sharing has been completely broken since we updated to 2016, before then we were really reliant on it. Now we have to use the absolutely horrible but at least functional webex.

  Ironically "normal" Skype application is usually flawless. I work from home and use it as my primary communication tool (prefer it to the phone).

Google Drive has its quirks and crashes. The speed of running native apps definitely makes me prefer MS office.

I have to code for internet explorer compatible web apps. Its 100x worse than actually having to "just" use it.
