It has to be good enough. Was it? You could argue it was, because it survived that long. But it wasn't a standalone product, rather part of Windows, which was a (commercially) successful product because it was good or great enough. Some parts were better, some were worse. While not completely and utterly broken, I think the suggestion here is that the Format dialog fell in the "worse" camp. So, I'm not saying that it was okay because there were more important things to fix (that was true too, probably), but I'm saying that it was okay because there were enough equally important things that were done better/well enough.
