Also due a hell of abstraction layers, it might lead in the same result, only with a potency of more cpu usage, plus much more bugs.
I still have - parallely - my old system on windows XP and all the old plugins of 2002. And
everytime I start this old system I am surprised, because almost everything can be done
with this ancient environment also. Even big complex projects are no problem.
I think Apple and Microsoft are strongly pushed to become "young" and "hip" and so they
convulsively adapted new smartphone design and "young elements". And so their focus
is not on their creative and long loyal customers, instead they want to be "young" and "fresh".
I am still waiting for the turning of the wind so that pure functions and backwards-
compatibiltiy becomes important again. But maybe this "turning of the wind" will never
happen and we will have to convert to Linux.
