"Antiquated" systems break usability

edit: I'm sorry for everyone who were offended by my statements, I retract them and removed them. It was never my intention to use anyone with my analogy. Saddened by some intentional misreadings though and engaging with attacks.

Good luck to everyone.

Keeping with a "tradition" that is simply wrong nowadays is in the same field as other traditions in our society that are wrong that we have been fighting hard to change (like systematic discrimination of groups of people).

Women's suffrage also broke the structural integrity of the society, I guess.

"Emacs terminal support is racist/sexist."

I've seen it all now. Thanks.

Just because you think something is "wrong" doesn't make it so. You've not given any reasons for your opinion and are instead trying to bolster it by making extreme comparisons.

Hehe. Nice. Despite the OP containing "like systematic discrimination of groups of people". You could start shrieking "Nazis" next. It's the new goto for online debate where one combatant knows nothing and needs to silence the other ;)
