I don't think there is a software crisis. There is a more of a software glut.

There is so much software on so many platforms, such a fragmented landscape, that we cannot say anything general.

Some projects may be struggling and falling apart, others are doing well.

There is software that is hostile to users. But it is by design. There is cynicism and and greed behind that. It's not caused by programmers not knowing what they are doing, but doing what they are told.

The users themselves drive this. You can write great software for them, and they are disinterested. Users demand something other than great software. Every user who wants great software is the victim of fifty others who don't.

Mass market software is pop culture now.
