Rather than "finished software" (which I consider to be impractical), I'm a fan of "converging software" - it has a clear goal, concept, direction. The large features are already there, they're being just refined. The software increasingly makes only small changes - fixing bugs, refining existing features, then refining those refinements. TeX would be one such example which reflects its converging nature in its versioning scheme. But I think it applies to a lot of other software - e.g. basic GNU utilities like grep, awk etc. are like that. |
