And that's the reasoning that will keep advancement of anything from ever happening. We need a firefox6 too I guess
you missunderstand me
i am developer and often throw things away and rewrite them if it is really useful
but sometimes i get the feeling that if things are well known and debugged somebody starts a new framework / replacement to get a better software-design, starting with a lot of troubles and some new and at the moment things starting work pretty the next incarnation comes out and the developers often see not the balance between improvements and troubles
the real problem is that many tools / prgrams / codeparts out there rely on a defined behavior and sometimes linux-development feels like a race between developers and users and the most time re-implentations are missing features, are not well thought but included un distributions-releases longing over months and years to get stable
KDE4 and pulseaudio are the best examples which brougt more troubles they solved over a long time, GNOME akes the same failures now and as user you have no chance to get lost of things because every distri have other painful versions of packages never ever a enduser should get faced of in the state they where released
