Maybe we should just freeze development in lots of designated areas and declare victory (I know this isn't a practical suggestion, but still...).
Eg in desktop OS's. Apple for example makes everyone miserable by re-breaking macOS every year. To what point?
Apple certainly churns APIs quite often. And now my Tahoe install has broken window management, one of the most core features of a modern OS
Cmd-tilde and shift-cmd-tilde have been broken for a decade and a half. Cycle through open windows. Close one. Cycle agin. They now reverse the direction. It’s maddening and it’ll never get fixed.
nvi hasn't meaningfully changed in almost 20 years. It's OK for software to be finished.
