    Funnily enough, I think Bob has become so notoriously reviled that more people hate it (or are at least very much aware of the hatred) than have ever used it.

    And there's this, by Dave Plummer, who ended up being responsible for shipping more copies of Bob than ever sold: https://youtu.be/rXHu9OmLd8Y

    For those that don't know Dave Plummer is a developer that worked at Microsoft during its heydey in the 90s. He talks about Microsoft lore and also is heavily into retrocomputing. Who has full PDP-11 in their garage ?
