They are: Excel and Visual Studio for example: both excellent.

Excellence is not reached when you can't think of another feature to be stuffed into a product. It is reached when there is nothing unneeded left to remove.

First piece of software that impressed me was Lotus 123

Also Visual Studio Code is really very good.

I don't like it much, it has too many restrictions on the positioning of panes an it has no pane autohide. I also ended up crashing it multiple times trying to move the output pane where I wanted.
Better than many alternatives but I find its UI confusing.

Will definitely try. I usually didn't use online apps because my first company and most customers of the conslutancy company I worked for had strict Internet access policies.
Apparently here I can only use Visio webapp, which is not bad though there is no way to keep lines to fixed angles (i.e. 45-90-...). Other that this, I'm loving it.

I guessed front meant edge and added ie(that is) r(right) and came up with frontier for border.
Where does van come into it ?

Van FRONT
that is IE
right R

FRONTIER
VAN (noun): "at the front, or in the most advanced position, of something"
Comes from VANGUARD, I believe.

Isn't it amazing how many ways they have found to sell you the same paste of nuts, fat and sugar?

I've perused about 6 different packages (I don't want a UI package) and the web pages describing the setup process is like reading a magical scroll on burnt parchment and hoping the incantation doesn't summon a demon.
I mean seriously. It should be:
sudo apt install smtp-server
1. Answer a question about the hostname (or figure it out from the /etc/hostname file)
2. Answer a question about the default inbound and "from" email or default to "admin"
3. Firewall should be automatically configured.
Get back:
1. the server name (should be the same as the hostname!)
2. the ports (should be standard!)
3. the folder where inbound emails are put into
4. a list of useful CL options to change some basic config stuff.
But noooooo. Edit this, mangle that, sudo this and this and that and thar, pray here, prick finger for blood there, curse over yonder...
It's insane, it's inane, I don't understand why it has to be so complicated.

I always get scared when seeing instruction videos on how to install software on Linux, about 90% of the video usually show a terminal screen with reams of scrolling text

Yup. And someone with an Indian accent mumbling through the process.
