agreed. If I had to name one defining quality of contemporary software vs. the OS and apps I grew up with, it wouldn't be power or ease of use; it would be a deep, fundamental contempt for users.
I think this is the core of my nostalgia (OStalgia?) here; I remember when software products weren't creepy and grubby. And I miss those days.
