They cater to business more than individual consumers. Backwards compatibility matters to them much more than ui consistency.
I tend to agree with that for my own uses. I don't care if it's pretty if it works.
- c7DJTLrn 5y agoThat argument doesn't make sense. UI has no impact on API compatibility. The only situation in which software would break is if it's doing screen scraping and automated input, in which case that software deserves to break. Backwards compatibility is not an excuse to allow 20 years of tech debt to accumulate anyway.
- CRConrad 5y agoThose myriad incompatible UIs are just as annoying at work, so how does "cater to business more than individual consumers" make them any better?
- forgotpwd16 5y agoIf they cater to businesses, what is the point of those UI modifications?
