The argument in this article is specious. How does the fragility of CDs, disk fragmentation, cybersecurity being a relatively young and niche field, a lack of anti-cheat, the turbo button, and a lack of auto-save have anything to do with software being "horrible?" I'd say it doesn't. These are mostly gripes about the digital environment being in its infancy. I don't consider almost any of these things to be a sign of horrible software other than BSODs being way more common than they are today.
Software is bad when it's buggy, slow, bloated, annoying, distracting, anti-user, anti-consumer, anti-ownership, and rent-seeking. I pine for the days where something as simple as "wtf can't it autosave" be a reason to call software horrible.
