INCREDIBLY buggier, no comparison.

QA got it so bad in the current LLM-fueled carnival of stupid. Also, what would be categorized in the times of yore as a "lamer" has incredible free tools at their disposal, so vulnerabilities are a lot more common. Add to that the fact that every goddamn thing is connected to the internet and you got a recipe for disaster.

Even if you only hit 1/100 times... if you can shot 10000 times, you're still in the green.

Yeah substantial degradation in really basic functionality in the last 3-4 years.

I mean, new features I don’t use and useless UI changes have been added at a high rate over the same time period, but holy Christ, it’s pretty bad when some really basic functionality bugs are getting shipped by big names all the time. Like to name one: adobe acrobat is… an absolute hot pile of garbage. Basically any browser offers a MUCH better pdf reader. I don’t understand how the paid version of a product that has only the job of processing PDFs is so bad at it, and has actually regressed over time. And the PDF editing features are also terrible. I don’t know what that program even does well anymore.
