Word for Dos 5.0. If you are old like me, you may remember thinking this was a pretty good word processor, and when Word 6.0 came out, it seemed a bloated mess in comparison. It's been downhill ever since.
Mac OS X 10.6.8. It was good, and stable, and nothing that has come after has really added value to the product.
- vbezhenar 7y agoiOS 6. I'm using latest iOS and the only useful feature for me is fingerprint recognition and that is more about hardware. They added tons of new features but I wouldn't miss any of those features.
- overcast 7y agoPassword manager integration is a pretty monumental feature I couldn't live without.
- UIZealot 7y agoAgree on iOS 6. For me it's not that the later versions don't offer good and useful features. It's just that I'm disgusted everytime I have to look at that god aweful UI. Jonny Ive truly has no taste.
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoThey've also added a whole load of negative features, or needless complexity, and taken away the helpful in the name of fashion. Maybe I liked coverflow. Or an analogue clock on the lock screen. Maybe I liked big album art on the lockscreen when playing music instead of the absurdly tiny thumbnail of now. Snow Leopard, iOS 6, Word 6 (or 2003 if we have to take the modern era), all seem easy choices, yet the companies doing it never seem to notice they jumped the shark. Dropbox 10x the size with built in messaging anyone? Thought not. :)
- gurkendoktor 7y agoSwipe to go back is one of the unexpected improvements in iOS 7 that I think many people would immediately miss when going back.
- asark 7y agoThey've added new features I like, but that was the sweet spot of discoverability and aesthetic. It's been downhill since. I'm also not loving making it a more general-purpose OS—the iPad/iPhone as a slab of metal & glass that could become any of several tools, with a no-BS operating system keeping it all coordinated, was what really made it special.
- UIZealot 7y agoAgree on Snow Leopard. I don't even mind later versions not adding value. What's sad is, they added negative value. It got slower, buggier, and uglier with every update.
- yoz-y 7y ago> and nothing that has come after has really added value to the product For you. Personally to me things like cross device copy-paste, airdrop, notes and reminders integrations are indispensable now. Metal has brought a huge improvement to rendering speed and of course security between now and then is incomparable.
- agumonkey 7y agoFunny because Word 6 is often praised as perfect balance. Or maybe I read wrong
