It kinda seems like most software has arrived in the area of diminishing returns, right? Sometimes, the next version even gets worse. So there either aren't so many new useful features to put into the next version and / or the implementation complexity gets overwhelming, so it's only possible to add new useful features with disproportionate effort... It's disappointing - is what we have really all that is possible...? I actually don't think so, but what will improve the situation? Some kind of AI thing? With my FOSS desktop software background, I think the disappearance of "applications" in favor of a more integrated system also holds some promise. Without companies, there is no need to have marketable distinct pieces of software.
