Honestly, even this is a hazardous over-generalization.

I've looked at gobs of software that failed to do what I needed it to do. Much of that software was good-to-great at what it was written to do, but it -like a lot of software- wasn't written to do what I needed it to do.

That doesn't make the software shit, that makes it unsuited for my needs. I am -and many others are- clever enough to distinguish between the two categories. :)
