Windows 10 was hated too when it came out. And 11 improves the UI by a lot, this is where they fix the control panel.

Poor performance, execution model limitations, lack of static typing (although they seem to be working on that), and general legacy cruft.

Don't compare PHP to Node, Ruby or Python, they also have problems. I think Go is currently the best choice for a web backend; an objective evaluation of PHP and Go would certainly put Go ahead. If you know PHP, you can pick up Go in a day or two, so I don't think that's a great reason to keep using PHP either.

Usage statistics are a highly misleading, software projects take several years to develop and a majority will fail. Looking at current usage tells you the most popular choice from 5 years ago, not today. Over 90% of video games published in the last 5-10 years use Unity or UE4, but these probably aren't the best choices today.

I think it's simply that these activities are more enjoyable with less weight. Hewhen hiking it matters a lot, carrying heavy load on your back sucks. In cycling people definitely obsess a bit too much because most people aren't competing, but climbing is definitely easier on a lightweight bike. And people are apparently willing to spend a lot of money on this stuff, so companies gladly make carbon everything to save 5% weight at 500% the price.

Back in the 2000s, browsers were really bad at downloading big things over slow connections since they couldn't resume, a brief disconnect could destroy hours of progress. But I don't think you need this anymore.

Right, but you could do the same with RPM. Not everyone is aware of this, but installing a package executes scripts with root access over your system.

Barely any commercially successful games are written in Godot right now. But Godot keeps getting better and Unity keeps getting worse, things could look very different in a couple of years.

Oh hi Mark

A single delivery truck carries 100-200 packages, if everyone drives to the store instead, you'd have 100+ cars on the road. There is a huge difference.

P3 is QLC, yes

This one is cheaper, but lower spec and no-name: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005234838380.html

You can find Intel N100 mini PCs for 100-200 Euros that have similar performance to a 6th gen i5 but much lower power consumption and better codec support including AV1. The i3-N300 is also starting to become available with twice as many cores.
