Bob is always easily criticized but it was actually a fun and cute software that included the basic versions of what a lot of people needed, like a Word Processor that wasn’t at the same level as Works (or Office). Almost everyone who makes fun of it never used it. But it was an early mash up of a few different things that all survive in various ways in other products. For example the home in Bob, which is often the main thing people make fun of, draws on the same fun people get when they’re designing spaces in the sims or whatever else.
