I wish Enterprise software or anything where I have to pay money to use had strict contracts about changes and mandatory opt-ins. It's ridiculous that in this day and age, we have to be worried about some PM deciding for large swathes of users what's best for them. I just want my tools to be predictable and usable and not have to relearn every bit of quirk someone fancied.

And it's insanely myopic that software companies don't understand that stability and predictability is a feature you best not mess with when it comes to _tools_.

Could not agree more. I hate the world we are building with SaaS type software where the user (me) has no control at all over versions, when/where, etc. I honestly think I may prefer the old "buy a shrink-wrapped copy" approach. Back then it was rare to run into bugs, and nobody ever "upgraded" me without me knowing and radically changed the UI. Maybe I'm just being grouchy and "get off my lawn"ish, but dang.
