I disagree with the sentiment here. Modern software is much more polished and professional but perhaps more slow. I remember installing stuff 10-15 years ago it would constantly fail with weird errors and bugs. Using linux was a real pain. Everything was much more monopolistic than it is today. You had to use x for that, you had to used y for this. While we still have a lot of issues today it is vastly better than it used to be. I haven't had any machine crash with a BSOD on windows for years and on linux everything just kind of works and I have fewer and fewer issues. I can work remotely 100% of the time and do impressive things in the browser, stuff that was simply not possible at all 10-15 years ago. I remember what a big deal Gmail was when it came out and today we take that kind of service for granted. Even with all the warts modern software has, it is still better than it used to be.
