In other news, bad software is bad. Heh, excuse the sarcasm. Tangential: I've come to think of the major software problems (like bloat, or closed-source, or lack of interop) as an effect of our generally chaotic and self-contradictory culture: "money is the root of all evil", "how much do you make", "it has to be good", "it has to be done fast", "do what you think is best", "do what's expected", "be conservative", "be innovative". It's hard to navigate through all that, and if you do, and you have something to show for it, you have my applause, irrespective of how good it is, for whatever problematic definition of good I happen to use today.
