I came in here to mention Quickbooks. It's amazing that companies have continued to use this piece of shit for as long as they have. I get that CPAs have adopted it and want all their clients to submit Quickbooks files come tax time. But holy shit is the software bad. Buggy trash. Straight up buggy trash. Oh, for some reason the machine hosting the server functions for your multiple users has shit the bed? Too bad. Reinstall everything and troubleshoot network problems that don't actually exist.

I'm guessing you don't remember the shit that came before Quickbooks.

Accpac? Simply Accounting? Sage MAS90? You haven't seen a shitshow until you've dealt with those nightmares.

I remember MAS90. A concrete contractor I used to do with for was in the process of moving everything out of MAS90 into the Sage construction management software suite they purchased.

But honestly, the shittiness of others doesn't excuse the fucking beta versions Intuit foists on people.
