There is a lot of software I've used where I would have been just fine if all development stopped. I don't need or want new features, keeping up with security fixes, bugs, and OS updates, is fine, but feature wise many things I would have been happy to call the software done.
But that doesn't keep programmers employed, VC's making money, or management justifying themselves.
Frustrating.

- colechristensen 4y agoI really liked iTunes at some point around 2006 and then it got progressively worse, dropped my favorite features, and I no longer touch it. All I needed them to do was improve performance for large libraries.
- babypuncher 4y agomeanwhile after 20 years, foobar2000 only gets better with each release. I even still use (the Windows version) on my Mac thanks to Wine. The memory footprint of Music.app when I load a large playlist is an order of magnitude greater than that of foobar2000 despite all the overhead that comes with Wine.
- colechristensen 4y agoI'm sure it's just a matter of taste, but I never liked foobar2000 despite hearing from people who loved it for a very long time.
