I think this is a function of age. I'm only 30 now, but I'm starting to get crusty when shit changes for the sake of changing shit :)

  I'm somewhat older, and I feel your pain. :-) But more, I'm disappointed that we haven't spent the effort that goes into reinventing these things every ten minutes on something more productive. There are plenty of simple things in my everyday programming work that could be automated to take less time, given the right language tools or libraries or development environment, but where it is still faster in practice to do everything the "hard" way than the "easy" way. How am I ever going to code up all my pet project ideas in a single lifetime at this rate? ;-)

  And AppKit is almost 18 years old; it was started by NeXT and Sun in 1993 or so. UIKit removed a lot of cruft and fixed some pretty big design decisions in AppKit. It was a rewrite that was needed, not because an intern had too much time on his hands.

  I know plenty of 30 year olds that love to change things just for the sake of it
