Of course not. In my experience, buying various hardware, the
software that came bundled with the hardware almost always sucks. The
same is true of the stuff bundled with my Canon DSLRs, with my wife's
digicam and her camcorder, but also the software that came with
various scanners, printers etc.
I have said it before and I repeat: the only reason for installing
the Olympus software is to do firmware upgrades. DO NOT USE IT FOR
ANY PICTURE-RELATED TASKS and you will live happily ever after.
But the cameras and especially the lenses are wonderful, and given
the availability of other good software to convert RAW, the cheesy
software should certainly not stop anyone from buying into the system.
