Agreed. We now live in an environment of "just throw another feature at it". It doesn't matter that the feature is not really wanted; or that it screws up the system; and that nothing is properly documented - just throw more features at it. The result - systems that used to be workable have become increasingly cumbersome and impractical. Don't add features, don't try to do more things - just do one thing and do it well. And documentation!! I know that good doco is difficult (very difficult), but good doco is now completely unknown. Application doco now consists of a mindless detailed description about how to select a specific menu entry, or to enter data into named fields, with no explanation of the effects of those fields. System doco is just as bad - almost exclusively automatically generated from function definitions. Any programmer can read the definition, can decode the type, so it's pointless duplicating that - just tell us the subtle details that are not clear from the defs or enumerated types.
