Sas hands down. And it isn’t just that The software is bad. It’s terrible, and seems to train users into bad programming habits. But what makes it the worst is the ecosystem around it. For example the help and forum posts are just agonizing. They are verbose to the extreme, Often including paragraphs on what the author was thinking the first time they encounter the problem, and manage to sound patronizing and naive at the same time. The official docs and forums being naive and patronizing makes it annoying to find the right syntax, as it’s not my primary language. But Every simple thing requiring a 13 page white paper full of irrelevant digressions makes sas agonizing to use.
