| >>> Yes, I get desktop Excel but I have never had to use any feature in it I couldn't get in Sheets (I use sheets a lot outside of work). >> "it works for me" gives very little information about the software you're using. > I don't think so. It says that the software satisfies the basic requirements of its target audience, and gives a hint as to who that audience is. No, not really. What's the "target audience"? The GGP certainly doesn't say, and wrote a comparison that is meaningless unless you're already very familiar with the software (transforming it into a statement about the particular user), and perhaps misleading if you don't. I could say the exact same thing as him, except about MS Paint, e.g. Yes, I get desktop Photoshop but I have never had to use any feature in it I couldn't get in MS Paint (I use MS Paint a lot outside of work). Does that say MS Paint is a powerful program, or that I'm an amateur user? You can't really say unless you already know the programs, since I didn't say anything about the kinds of graphics work I actually do. > Ask an Android dev to review vim, and an operating systems dev, and you'll get wildly different responses. If you ask a generalist software developer, you'll likely get less noise. No, you won't get less noise, you'll just get different noise. |
