Okay, I failed to properly address "improvement". By "improvement" I mean the time required to develop something new. Of course everything improves, simply because it's built on top of the base of an older version. A simple example, it took months to write a simple browser with a little less features than the browsers available during the Win 9x era. Does it take weeks now? I doubt so. Ok, to put it more simply, what I meant was improvement in the time required not as in the thing that was produced. Uh, get what I mean? |

Ooooo, bad choice of example. It takes a day or so now, since WebKit is embeddable.
You're trying to separate something that can't be separated. You can't separate "making things take less time" from "making better things possible", because the bound in all cases is time. If you have to spend less time on X, then you've got more to spend on Y; if you can't spend less time on X you'll never reach Y. It's the rare improvement that can only improve quality, but doesn't in any way permit you to instead trade that for time.
