> There's lot's of sentiment out there that is being mistaken for 'nostalgia', which is genuine dissatisfaction with modern tools. That's why projects like suckless.org [2] seem more relevant every day. Suckless (the org) is too elitist to produce software usable by non-power users, which is a shame, because these folks are for the most part excellent at balancing perfectionism and minimalism with pragmatism; they could go a very long way to help "fix" rampant complexity, but their complete disinterest in accommodating people who can't program in C will keep their projects irrelevant on the grand scale of things.
