I wonder how many people Maxis employed when they made Sim City 2000? Because it had a native UI for every platform it was ported to that had a windowing and widget toolkit.

I just can't help but think that either programmers today have abstracted themselves into a lot more work than need to do, or they're just significantly less capable over all than the programmers of old.
