I've been writing code since the 70's, and this statement:

"It has never been easier to write a functional application than it is today. The ratio of code to functionality for any given app is lower than it has ever been."

.. in my personal opinion, is false. The apparency-of-ease is there, but in reality its just not true. The runway to get something running and useful is about 10x as long as it used to be ..

Do you disagree with my claim about the text editor, or do you think that's just a bad example, or what?
