The roads always suck where the traffic is busiest
The roads are always horrible where life is busiest. They are slow, poorly designed and in complete disagreement with what you, the individual, need to do right now.
But look over there, in the expensive suburbs, the roads are beautiful. There is no traffic, everything works well and the designers were obviously genius's. Also - nothing is happening over there because there is nothing to do there so nobody actually goes there.
We've watched all operating systems take the same abuse as they have gained enough market share to begin to experience serious grid lock and design/use mismatch. Name your OS/Company: IBM/Microsoft/Apple/Etc.
Ahhh - isn't the grass green over there...
(Actually I feel the most pity for Apple as their consumer focused product line creates flash traffic jams comparable to real-life events such as concerts, fairs and sporting events. The consumer is a fickle beast and hard to predict reliably.)
