No, it's not just you. I'm firmly convinced that the average value of "software quality" (for some hand-wavy definition of "quality") for all software world-wide is approximately = "shit".<p>IDE's, operating systems, websites, smartphones, it almost doesn't matter what it is, time and time and time and and time again, this shit doesn't work without a ridiculous amount of effort, and/or the performance sucks, or it crashes with no helpful output, or just generally fails to deliver a useful experience.<p>My favorite example of this right now is websites with so much javascript shit running that they bog your entire browser down to the point of being unusable. Every time I run into one of these sites I find myself thinking dark thoughts of death, destruction, havoc, pillaging, maiming, etc... :-(
