Could you elaborate on what makes Clickup "trash software", is it something specific to Clickup or your opinion around this entire "class" of all-in-one workspace?

Here are a few things off the top:

- horrible optimization

    - video calls will easily bloat 1-3gb of ram
- buggy, things that should work sometimes don't

    - e.g. sometimes you click to write... you get a spinner, wait 10 seconds
- poor ux. I have been using it for 4+ years at work, still have trouble finding things

- yeah, all things in one interface

These are opinions. People can have different. To me, its just a slow and difficult to navigate mess that doesn't know what it wants to be.

ClickUp is known to be extremely slow and buggy, in a way that technical people can infer is a reflection of their mission to literally do everything an organization needs.

Who ever built a piece of quality software by setting out to build multiple otherwise unrelated pieces of software with extremely tight coupling to satisfy enterprise bargain hunting?
