Ask HN: Software you hate but can't replace?
Gchat, gdocs, gsheet, gmeet. These are the worst apps of their respective categories, ever to exist. But I am helpless, because I&#x27;ve to use what my company has bought.<p>The number one reason why they&#x27;re bad is that they are not native apps. They need a tab in the browser, or a fake browser window.<p>The second reason they&#x27;re bad is because Google does not care about the user experience. Each of these is probably assigned to a random intern every three months and she just does whatever she likes with it.<p>The third reason is that I know how good each of these category of apps can be. I&#x27;ve used slack, zoom, excel and word. Each one of those is lovingly crafted to satisfy the users every need, comparatively. Knowing that such apps exist makes it even more painful to use Google&#x27;s half baked knock offs.
