The popularity of all these paper emulators seems odd to me.

Like, how long after the advent of software will it take before our workflows find their authentic shape? Or was that shape really just a list of flat rectangles all along?

I love the question as I'm constantly faced with the absurdity of user-hostile software. It was supposed to be built to help humans. Instead it creates PTSD.

Hmm, maybe the problem is more of a drift towards hostility instead of an inability to move forward.
