...and it will be something completely different in 3-5 years. Because it 
always is. Unless you have 10's of millions of dollars, you simply cannot 
keep up with those changes. We tried and gave up years ago. Aonix (now PTC) 
tried and gave up years ago, too.

Moreover, new software is incredibly ugly and hard to use compared to the 
older stuff. I don't even want to help people write that crap - if that 
leaves me unemployable, so be it.
