I would love to see the pendulum swing back around to _good design_ again.

It matters more when designing libraries/frameworks than one-off apps.

Switching to a new framework/platform/language at the point the one you were on before finally matured enough that it was hard to ignore the need for good design doesn't actually help. you'll still be back eventually.

There have been articles over the last few years that have highlighted the dangers of idolizing and prioritizing innovation. I too hope for increased attention to craft and design of software in the future.
