If windows was totally unusable would it have succeeded in the way that it
has? Windows is certainly not ideal in any sense but you can't deny its
ongoing success commercially.

The web is the future of computing, that much is evident. You can hole
yourself up in your little imaginary world where users don't matter, nobody
actually gets paid, and the sole criteria for judging software systems lies
in their strict adherence to a bunch vaguely articulated idealist
