Heh. I've surprised a lot of laymen, after telling them I'm a programmer, by my opinions that most programmers are incompetent and most software and consumer electronics are terrible. Seems hugely ironic to those unfamiliar with the field, but being around it and (at the risk of narcissism) knowing what I'm going, I think puts me (along with many of the people on this board) in a prime position to notice flaws and steps backwards.
I share your opinion that most software and consumer electronics is terrible. Of course, I've produced my share of terrible software, but I won't make any excuses for doing so.
For example, my TV set crashes every once in a while, and must be power cycled :-( The old analog sets never did that!
