I'll be the first, then. I've used two versions of Cerner (the first was heavily modified by the University where I did residency and the second is a more recent version), Soarian, Epic, CPRS, and had brushings with half a dozen outpatient EMRs. Epic is bad, but it's unfortunately still miles better than anything else I have ever used so far.

I think you and I have different definitions of "like"...
I think you’re right. I would like/love it if my hospital dropped Cerner for Epic, as I could get my job done at least 20% faster, which would allow more time with family.

My main point I wanted to make was 1) that I also hated Epic the first time I used it in residency (we switched from Cerner to Epic for outpatient only). 2) I have so far never met someone who prefers another EMR over Epic, which really says something since Epic is also bad.
