let’s never improve, let’s bifurcate development to support old systems

this is a unproductive conservative attitude

no I won’t get off your lawn

I’ve been burned by changing UIs but it’s the price we pay for progress

my point was broader, any one update won’t make you productive it will be likely be regressive

all updates taking together will allow for progress
