Trillian (Version 3 and Above)

Comment: version 0.8X or 0.7X were good.
         Now it's just useless bloatware.
         Cpu hog, resource hog. Mouse
         stops moving when you load it up
         Uses extremely bloaty XML too.
         Looks like it came from Toys R Us.

MSN Messenger

Comment: Banner ads, ugly skin, white
         disgusting color, 12 year old smileys
         resource hog, opens with Outlook Express
         without your authorization. Tries to
         be aerodynamic when it should be square.
         Doesn't even match Windows XP Toys R Us 
         theme..

OpenOffice (OpenOffice.org)

Comment: Absolutely disgusting Java code behind
         this one. CPU pegs to 100 for several minutes
         even if you just move your mouse or press
         a key, or sit idle. Has some more features than
         MS Office, but overall, extremely unusable 
         software. Even MS Excel 2000 still loads up
         fast.

StarOffice

Comment: See open office. SUN steals the code from 
         volunteers and takes a profit, so they are 
         basically the same program

Mozilla 
         
Comment: Unbearably slow. Screen feels like it's 
         locked up even when visiting text based 
         websites. Some cool features, but basically
         an unusable browser. If you have a 10Ghz
         processor and all you do is web browsing,
         maybe you won't notice (most clueless folk).

Netscape

Comment: See Mozilla. Netscape steals the code from
         volunteers and takes a profit, so they
         are similar browsers. Even Internet Explorer
         and the partially bloated Opera 8 are better.

Opera 7, Opera 8

Comment: Opera 7.23 is ok. Opera 7.5 and Opera 8
         are much too bloated. Opera 6 was fast, but had
         bugs in a lot of JavaScript sites. But Java 
         sucks too.

DreamWeaver, DreamWeaver MX

Comment: Bloaty software, and bloaty code production. Some nice 
         HTML editing at times when you need a quikie, but it
         also adds bloat to HTML code and hogs up 100 percent CPU. 
         Why is it that RTF editors never add too much bloat to our
         RTF files? Is it HTML that inherently sucks, along with XML?
         If people can build parsers for XML and HTML, why can't 
         they build proper WYSIWYG editors?
