CL is only ten years old? I always figured it was from the 90s — maybe a bias originating from the design.

It's over 20 years old, it launched in 1996. Time flies.

oh wow, I stand corrected. I always thought it was 10 years old because I discovered it around 2008. Sheesh.

Remember Windows XP?
Fun fact: we're further away from its first release (2001), than it was from Windows 1.0 (1985).
Remember Windows 7?
We're further away from its first release (2009), than it was from XP.

Win7 certainly has some rough edges in retrospect, but I occasionally interact with old systems and so many things are so much snappier. I'm sure the modern frameworks in Win10 allow for "new experiences" but the plain old desktop experience was well served by Win7.
And those of us who do remember Windows 1.0 (not using it, though, but I do remember the ads), are probably mostly closer to retirement age than to the start of our careers... I feel old now.
