Maintaining backwards compatibility isn't a problem that's unique to GUIs.
- downerending 6y agoAt least in Unix/Linux, I doubt the reshuffling of command flags and arguments is more than one percent of what happens in GUI programs. And it's probably far less. Command-line people take backward compatibility very seriously. GUI designers seem to think it doesn't matter, because oh, everything's so easy to find. Fie on that.
