The problem with the article starts with wording. If I hate a piece of software then almost by definition it has failed to do its job well as I believe software's job is to help me do something. But I usually don't hate and with age I even accept and appreciate that there are trade-offs to be made.

The problem is.. that software today seems that the trade-offs made are akin to "will use accept invasive pattern A or invasive pattern B". That is not a technical real trade-off. It is not structure c vs structure d. Rather, it is an intentional making world a worse place to live in.

And I still don't hate it.. I hate the people who make it.
