"unlabeled icons (often without even tooltips)"

The worst software I worked with in this regard was CATIA V5. It had not only hundreds of little icons in the UI, but they were also used in the documentation. The manual regularly said things like "Todo X first click [], then [] and finally go to [] to do []."

This is from the very first versions of V5, so many years ago, and hopefully has improved.



> ... first versions of V5

So "V5" is not "version five" of something?

God.


5 is the version, but has been the current version for 26 years by now. I should have said the first releases of V5 or whatever they are called.

That's not to say there hasn't been a version 6 at some point, but the most recent version is still 5.
