This is proof that the Bloomberg Terminal is a power user system.
- golergka 8y agoI've seen similar statements about many pieces of professional software. The key point they forget to mention is that these small percentages are different for every user.
- piokoch 8y agoYup, second that, this was pointed out by Joel Spolsky in the context of MS Office having so many options that are almost not used, so it should be easy to create competing product that would cover the most popular once. The crux of the matter is here that for each user the most popular feature set is different. Bloomberg has also one more advantage: tones of historical data that are potentially difficult to find and aggregate.
