Yes, desperately. For two reasons. (1) Steve placed the highest priority on optimizing the user experience. (2) He was a benevolent dictator. Software requires someone to trash the code and the people who write it when it is bad. No one likes it when someone does this, but it is necessary. Now we have change for the sake of change. Interfaces get redesigned because someone wants to leave their mark, not because it improves usability. We have things constantly being redesigned to optimize profit and claim turf, even at the expense of an optimal user experience. And we have a load of buggy, undocumented, poorly-thought-out APIs that exclude the most crucial functionality because someone figured out a way to make a few extra pennies per unit. We have some of the best hardware ever created, like the iPad Pro, that you can't use for any meaningful, creative or intelligent purpose because of artificial limitations.
