... yeah. Second time using Quickbooks, today. For a class. I... I have already begun to hate this program and wish foul and terrible things upon whatever lackwit(s) programmed it.
Current case in point: I have to generate four reports. Each and every goddamn one of them used different methods of defining the dates covered by the report. For anyone out there that programs. If you do this, and I find out, and I meet you in person. I am going to hurt you. Maybe not much. But some. You do not let shit like that clear a finished, commercial program. Ever.
This... this is representative. Paying bills? At least two (actually more than that, but two different places it pops up while in a particular window) different areas that the amount paid is listed -- where you'd think to look to change the amount paid (making a partial payment, etc.). Only one of them can actually be edited. It's not the one that pops up for defining the check number.
The thing is slow -- clunky. It crashes regularly. It's clumsy, too, as opposed to just slow and possessing outsized extremities, and I'm already running into places where it hides stuff it really doesn't need to hide. It beeps at stupid goddamn times for violently idiotic reasons. It brings upon me hatred and wroth.
Makes me wish parsing and writing code didn't give me a massive and literal headache, so that I could go forth and make something that's not shit. Because seriously. This is not how to do a freaking UI.
E: Also: Exporting reports? Oh no. You have to print. To an ASCII file. Not .html, or a picture, or... whatever. Printing. To a text file. Did they ever actually use wording like that, at some point in the depths of programming? If so, why the name of the blue hells is it being used in a 2012 program? Bloody hell, frakking export button you dullards!
E2: AHAHAHA. And, of course, it asks me to blanket turn down IE's security settings every time it opens (which is often, due to crashing). I don't even use IE with anything approaching regularity, but the only possible response to that is "Fuck you very much, sir or madame. No."
