But oddly, he didn't even mention that there would be a real simple
solution - just add backwards-compatible improvements instead of
actively wrecking the interfaces everyone else had depended on for
decades.
"decades". That, by itself, already calls for an update, no?
Why? Do you ride a bicycle differently, or drive differently, than you did
say, 20 years ago? You went out and bought a recumbent, or an electric
car?
Airbags, ABS, Traction Control, ACE compatibility, stronger survival
space, better fuel economy, more comfortable...
But the basic operation staid the same - brake on left, gas on the right, gear shift lever, steering wheel, etc, etc.
There was much wailing a gnashing of teeth from "purists" when these
things came in. "But it's not really driving!" some would say. "It lets
people be lazy!" others would say. Many of those people still drive old
cars, such is their choice.
Today, overall, the roads are much safer. Change is good.
