The expectation that a ~2 month old platform is going to perfectly replicate the functionality of 30+ year old platforms is absurd.

Compared to the PPC->Intel transition, this is a cakewalk. Compared to Microsoft's (multiple attempts) to migrate to ARM, this is a true triumph.

It's pretty good for a hardware platform. But I guess if you're a frontend developer, 2 months is enough for a new JavaScript framework to come out, become ubiquitous, get superseded, and get abandoned as legacy code.
