I would say because it is a tool, and tools should stay relatively the same. It's ok to make a new tool!
I have this discussion with people who make physical objects all the time, and their frustrations with the software world. Imagine learning to use a Heidelberg offset press 20y ago, and if you enter your workshop, it performs the same as before. Now imagine you are a painter who uses photoshop elements once in awhile. For some reason, your printer is printing all your pictures with a red tinge. You buy a new version of photoshop elements, and the problem is gone. The moving targets of saas and other remote updated software changes the perspective on tools, especially for production purposes. Many people who produce physical objects with software run into these problems. I fix up motorcycles in my spare time, and I dread the day my torque wrench needs an update!
- hedora 4y agoMy aging German automobile's radio failed to display an ö that a cloud service sent it yesterday. I really wonder how that regression slipped through. It has been able to display German in the past, along with all sorts of other unicode characters. The only thing I can figure is the band that named the song is Mongolian, so maybe they used a U-1803 (Mongolian full stop ᠃) as a modifier on the o? But then why did my phone display it correctly?
