I disagree, if they can get a product with great UX through the door but has to reboot the system on a timer (maybe once it knows its empty from a PLC input) every so often I'd call it a solution. In fact, Boeing thinks rebooting an airplane is a solution to integer overflow[0].

While I do not appreciate everything being a Web app it's also a very robust platform to build upon, there aren't many projects that gets as many eyes as browsers and their components.

exactly, that's horrifying. Only seppuku would be enough of a punishment.

Mechanical things need mechanical software that never fails.

Now, the embedded industry has largely failed at software development and they are using softeare that was not meant for them.
