Software is very rarely perfect though. There are some rare cases like Winamp and Photoshop where there's just not much to add.

I do find projects like Dwarf Fortress very charming in that there's an endless supply of new things to look forward to.

Photoshop has a new release every year or so, usually with new features.

The term "Creeping Featuritis" probably applies to that specific example. And any MS Office release in the last decade or so. :)

Nah, with Photoshop most of the new features are pretty useful. As abysmal as Adobe is with some stuff, they seem to get Photoshop right all the time.

DF is also unlikely to be critical to someones workflow or similar.
