The stagnation in all forms of professional software is mind-boggling. We have the same basic categories of applications as we did in the early 2000s, sometimes with more bells and whistles. These applications are highly profitable, yet there's still a bizarre gap in investment in new ones. A bias inflicted by a system where investment is directed not by tool-users, but by people who own things for a living.
It makes me wonder whether other tools I'm less close to, like construction equipment, have such stagnation as well.
