I do often complain about the quality of software but that is because i complain about the quality of most of the software. The foundation we work on is usually much more robust than what it was in the 90s, it is the stuff that we build on top that is shaky. And a big issue (at least on the desktop) is that in many cases we keep throwing away old stuff and reinvent new stuff with their new bugs and issues, instead of fixing that old stuff (and i do not think that it is a coincidence that most of the stable foundation is actually old stuff that had a lot of people trying to fix its issues instead of throwing everything away).
