Youtube, twitter, and reddit have obviously been in the news a lot recently, but every day business applications also seem to just keep getting worse. Got new PCs at work which means version updates, and pretty much everything we use (autocad, adobe acrobat, and ms office, mainly) all seem to run much slower, despite the computers having substantially higher specs. Love that I can't use any old versions or alternatives because they refuse to grant me admin access.
I love capitalist innovation! Why make things better when you could just make them worse and charge more?
Similarly, when I did quantum chemistry the school insisted on teaching students almost exclusively on GAMESS rather than GAUSSIAN, despite having licenses for the latter (GAUSSIAN has a bad rep because any criticism of the company results in the license being revoked.) Sure, no GUI was a pain, but I got a much better idea of what I was doing and what the molecules looked like and how that related directly to the math than I would have in Gaussian.
