i actually felt that BCC was a very interesting product - it took a small, well-defined problem that was causing a lot of people a lot of tedium, and solved it in a nice, polished manner. far from being uncool and boring, it is a deeply satisfying use of computing - automating tasks for people who cannot automate them themselves, so that a relatively small bit of work for you adds up to a larger win for lots of people.
