And that's a problem, now instead of knowing that something just works in the WM you're using, you have to cross-reference a matrix of features for basic tasks across different WMs because the bare minimum features are not found in the core protocols. Nothing is standardized, it's just a pile of different WMs developing their own sets of custom protocols.
- vasvir 7mo agolike the web and we saw how that went... Oh wait!
- Brian_K_White 7mo agoI'm not sure what point you thought you were making. The web is a complete mess. I can't count the number of things that either no longer work or no longer even exist at all because of nothing other than the fragmented and ever-changing nature of the web. Aside from sites and apps that required flash or silverlight, I have several different pieces of expensive aactual hardware that either partially or wholly became unusable because the built in and non-updatable web interface requires an old version of java or activex. Indeed we do all know how that went. It went like to total dogshit.
