@apisarenco I disagree, dramatically. This is the all time excuse of people to justify using Access. If its so cool to get people started on software/database development then why oh fucking why is not being taught at any school in the galaxy? Why are kids learning Scratch? BECAUSE ACCESS SUCKS DICK!
Today its even easier to install SQL Server Express (FREE), Visual Studio Community (FREE) and read C# for dummies... Develop an ntier application (not a great quality one) for desktop and voila, no matter how much your program sucks it still beats the shit out of any Access program, including yours.
Worst technology I've ever worked with?
Microsoft-FUCKING-Access
The error riddled, varchar frenzy, disgusting ui, os and architecture dependent pieces of shit, powered by the cherry on top: fucking VBA, that are applications developed with this monstrosity have kept me awake trying to understand why on earth would anyone that is not dying of cancer already would use such thing to try to build anything.
I had to deal with load of Access applications when I first started at my current company. Whats left now are mainly legacy systems, I killed them one by one and whatever's left will suffer the same punishment.
If you develop in Access you're my enemy and I will destroy you.
