Lotus 1-2-3
Somewhere between 2010 and 2012 when doing small business IT support, for a client, I spent some time installing 1-2-3 on an old, mostly disused machine in a corner of their office, then connecting to the machine via LogMeIn on an iPad (I think DosBOX because it better supported something on LogMeIn, I honestly don&#x27;t remember why not CMD.EXE) so that this customer, a medium sized construction sub-contractor, could continue to use the 1-2-3 based estimation spreadsheet that had been developed in the early (yes, early, it might have been converted from visicalc) 80s.  I offered to instead convert it to Excel since it wasn&#x27;t really that complicated, but the response was basically &quot;That&#x27;s probably better, but I&#x27;ve been doing this since the 70s and I&#x27;m going to retire soon, I don&#x27;t want to learn more new things that I don&#x27;t care about instead of getting jobs done as fast as possible.&quot;<p>It&#x27;s not that 1-2-3 or a TUI was better, but that if you know it and you don&#x27;t care about it, you care about it.<p>Worse is better.<p>And so it goes with apologies to Mr. Richard Gabriel, but that experience helped me more deeply understand what software should do is do important things for people, not do things better.
