Minitab is expensive garbage with no use outside of academia.
There are a dozen different tools that do every single function that Minitab does and yet we had to pay money for the software that we used in five assignments.
The instructions and the version of the professor wanted us to have was about four years out of date from the instructions that Minitab gave us for their own software.
Then once we figured out how to access the software all of the Mac users in the class couldn’t access it so they had to use a different version as a web version that didn’t have all of the same functionality and different menus.
It taught us nothing more than how to point and click different menus and it wasn’t open source so we couldn’t integrate it, the output was sketch and we couldn’t sync this up with changed data.
Does anybody actually use Minitab in the real world what purpose does this serve other than to teach people poor menu design choices in stats class in college?
