For some reason it always astonishes me how incredibly reactionary geeks are. We're supposed to be the neophiles.

Listen: for the first time in history, ordinary people are actually using computers, every day, in their real lives, and we're kicking and screaming as hard as we can against the systems that have made that the case.

The future is different from the past. The coders who are empowering creativity on iOS (and similar devices) aren't the ones whining about how hard it is. Get over your ridiculous nostalgia, stop bitching, and write BASIC for the 21st century.
