The computers are 100,000x more powerful and electron apps can bring multi core systems with 16GB of memory to their knees.
Coming from a 25MHz 486SX with 1MB of RAM to now, it’s disheartening that as a profession we’ve prioritized developer convenience over user experience. That system ran Netscape, Word, Paint Shop Pro, Doom, could play video, music (wav, midi, CD), and more.
Looking at today's mainstream software it feels that management agenda (pushing unneeded product X by disrupting user experience) and advertisement are also strongly prioritized over user experience.
