In the spirit of BBC's room 101, recently presented by Mr Merton and later Mr Skinner, I would like to nominate this thread as a dumping ground for software that should never have been written or allowed outside the hard disk of its intellectually challenged creators.
My number one nomination is HP Quality Centre. Clunky, overgrown, overcomplicated, includes many 'advanced features' that impress management wonks, including some of the most idiotically unscientific 'reports' in the world, but lacks some basic things that devs and testers need, and only has one saving grace; it allows me to invoice about 8 hours for every unit of work that would take me 1 hour with open source tools. But even that gets boring after a while.
I would appreciate the nominations of the congregation.
