How much of that is because people often aren’t excited about the work you do in Zendesk even if Zendesk was a good tool for getting the job done? I’ve never heard anyone speak well of a particular model of plunger either.
Allow me to be the first. Okay, not a plunger, but a very similar product: After using a litter-lifter scoop (for cleaning a cat's litterbox), I placed a bulk order so I'll have a lifetime supply (plus extras to give as gifts), even if they go out of business, because they really are just that good. No affiliation, just a happy customer.
This is a fair question. Bad tooling does exacerbate already difficult or unlikable tasks though. You don't have to be excited about using Zendesk; but if it gets in your way rather than making it easier to get tasks done, that's when it leads to hate.
