I’ve worked with some pretty rotten software, but management software is easily the most user unfriendly, so my vote goes to HPSM.

    During my statistics graduate degree, there was one course we had to do our data analysis using SAS. I absolutely despise it and refuse to work for any employer that would expect me to use it.

    SPSS is also crap - at my current job there were some processes that used it’s scripting “language”. It was both painful but cathartic to slowly rewrite those processes into R.

      Sas is awful but I will say doing mixed linear models and doing contrasts was pretty easy compared to r.

      SAS is utter insanity. I took grad-level Stats and we learned how to use it. I almost started to get good at it. When I brought my very first analysis to my grad advisor she told me that all analysis has to be performed by the department’s head statistician. All I could think was: “why the fuck are they forcing me to learn a language they won’t allow me to use???”
