Whether software is easy to use, or never loses data, when the company has a near monopoly, is almost irrelevant to profits, and therefore ignored. The manufacturer focuses on cheap gimicks like dancing paper clips to dazzle naive first-time buyers. The needs of existing experienced users are almost irrelevant. I see software rental as the best remedy.
