A good computer program

My paradigm for years has been Macrium Reflect. Its GUI is highly
intuitive, it does what it says it will, it's avoided bloat-growth to a
large extent (? strangely worded phrase to describe what I was trying
to), and it's very unobtrusive. And one other point; it is excellent at
keep you fully abreast of what it's doing, how long it's got still to do
it, in both percentages and time. It never jerks the green line across
the screen from, say, 10% to 21%. Never that I've seen, anyway.

The very antithesis of that is Win10 OS. And I don't mean just the
notorious update secretiveness. I include things like copying large
files, uninstalling large programs, and lots more. It jumps from 10 to
21, tells you nothing, sometimes moves the line steadily, then jerks,
then stops. And some functions just tell you nothing until they're done.
There is a little of this even in Win7. But not to the extent of Win10.
The latter gives me the impression that it doesn't care about letting me
know where it's at.
