I find it strange that nobody seems to be directly commenting on the whole arms race we have with constantly upgrading operating systems, browsers, and software in the name of security or features, and how we end up abandoning perfectly good software, the sum of countless of human-hours of work, and all for what?
What would help is if the operating system was no more than the hypervisor, and we run every single application in their own VM that includes all their dependencies.

Likewise, I learned how to use emacs over 10 years ago and, while it got some nice improvements over time, it never changed in any significant way. I now use it for coding, taking notes, and emails.
