We see this curve with most new software tools: we get them and start using them for everything, because we couldn't before. Then we realise this is bad, and stop using them at all. Finally a balance is struck.
Only in nanotechnology can we create a rectangle with a single molecule defining the perfect corner (excuse hyperbole). That, and digital displays where a single pixel can occupy that position. In nearly every other manufactured object the corner has at least a small rounding.

Why should the limitations of non-digital manufacturing affect how we design our content for digital displays?
