Let's keep in mind that the NRA isn't a club for all the good ol' guys who have playing with guns as a harmless hobby. It's an industry lobby body primarily representing companies that make more profit the more guns are sold. This made it worth their while, for example, to donate $30M to Trump's campaign. Not, of course, that they would expect to influence future laws by doing so. Of course not. They were just being kind and generous to fellow human beings.

Did such magic ever exist except as part of Magic Thinking?
My experience is that Apple have always made as much carp and as much good stuff as most other system creators (or tweakers of others' systems, in Apple's case), but they have an audience that is unusually susceptible to bull**** about who was the creative force.

>given the difficulties that Canonical trying to make a new Top layer/UI had I tend to thing that it is a bit harder than most people think it is.
It wasn't that changing a layer in a well-architected system was difficult. It was that the new design chosen for the layer was 'sub-optimal'.
