CoffeeCup Free HTML Editor 7.2 (Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows 2000)

Not cool  

I downloaded the HTML editor and wanted to try it, but gave up in ten seconds and will uninstall it. The only reason for that is their moronic idea to label buttons "Cool" and "No Way" (instead of, presumably, OK and Cancel) in the Preferences dialog (and others). That's unprofessional, grotesque, and downright insulting. Instead of allowing the high-school idiot who designed that interface to come up with such an idea, they might have spent a few more hours and add an actually useful feature like an Apply button to the above-mentioned dialog (guess they would have called it what, "Maybe?!"). And no, trying to come up with an icon for every freaking menu item (just to be "cool", perhaps) is not a good UI idea, either. I'm sure that the application is otherwise full of features, and I'm sure I don't care. For a company that by its very nature is about creating tools for designing user interfaces, their ideas about their own interfaces are perplexing, to say the least. [alert admin]

StickyBrain 3.0 (Mac OS X)

Disappointed  

I've tried to use StickyBrain 2 but gave up because it was so buggy. I was hoping for a new version, because I liked the concept. Simple, fast, unobtrusive. Well, StickyBrain 3 is not that. The first very bad impression was that the installer added an icon in the dock, no questions asked. Excuse me? That's impolite, to say the least. Second, it required a restart. Well, anyway. Then, the interface is very busy and downright ugly. All those Beethoven textures and what not, the little 'busy' indicator spinning on most every other mouse click and then the hideous, absolutely disgustingly hideous wooden bin thingy that drops down from the menu bar. Enough of this, my only hope now is that the uninstaller will manage to remove every trace of this POS from my hard disk. [alert admin]
