I don't agree that modern developers are less capable. If I had to choose between software developed to the best practices in 1995 and the same software developed to modern best practices, I'd pick the modern software in a heartbeat. What's changed is our relationship with software. Old school software did fewer, simpler things. The tools available limited what could even be realized and expectations for the end result were fundamentally different than we have today because they had to be.
