I was mainly referring to intranet web apps created by businesses. Most of the big players in the 90s didn't port to web apps until fairly recently and I can only think of Microsoft Office, which I still prefer the app over the web experience.
>if you think what most people do with computers today is harder than it was in the past, you are just plain wrong.
Depends on what you mean by harder. Software certainly is more complex than in the 80s and 90s.
>Being able to hit F1 to get help was something that was done by maybe .1% of the population.
You just made that up. I wrote software in the 90s and still do. Context sensitive help was invaluable.
>we've also just gotten better as an industry on making software
Software certainly is more complex than it used to be. Sometimes it is necessarily so, most times it just seems like devs like to use the latest whiz-bang framework to pad their resume. I'm not sure I would call that better. In the 90s, we'd develop software expecting it to last at least 20 years. Today, it's "move fast and break things."
