> well, the problem is that we (as users) spend so much of our life time by waiting for "making xyz better" - that works only well if things where not better in the past, but after some iterations of "waiting for things getting better" aka "waiting how the become mature as that what you had before" you just get tired<br>

> you get with each iteration of "we throw away working things and now you user have to wait for a unknown number of years to get them mature again" more tired until you are at the point "why in the world do i waste my life for waiting things to get mature again and not just accept that the whole IT is broken, leave it at all and start a fast food restaurant"<br>

<p dir="ltr">The whole of IT and computers -is- based around change. Get used to it. There probably isn't any other profession that is more so in a state of constant flux than computers and IT. Some of that change is for the better, some of it is for the worse, it whether any of us like it not the change keeps coming and WILL keep coming. Anyone who can't handle that kind of flux and instability in their field is probably in the wrong field.. </p>
