I agree, taking these quotes out of its time context is a bit silly but then again this is the implied intention of posting this here, right? Most people reading this and posting a comment will not be talking about the state of software in 1995 but today, using the article to show that the things described in it are still true/got worse. My comment itself was more of a quick reaction to the general sentiment in the comment section than a serious critic of the article itself.

Since I'm a huge fan of tiling windows managers and spend a lot of my time in terminal emulators as a power user I believe to understand his vision about computer usage and have a lot of admiration for what he and his colleagues were working on. But for the general population I believe he did not have the "right" idea (easy to say with almost 30 years of hindsight).
