What numbering scheme? What complexity? Screw up which? Offhand I would guess Word is more complex than Altium, in overall design/construction, and depth of development over the years. But both are pretty well up there. Herein lies one of the disconnects of software: what we perceive to be simple (i.e., Word), is often unimaginably complex in comparison, all that effort being behind the scenes, hiding that complexity from the user -- or, perhaps, tweaking it to a user-friendly level of complexity, because we certainly should not fool ourselves that graphical design, language, and human interface are simple, either!

--- Quote from: Benta on May 19, 2022, 06:37:15 pm ---M$ Windows. All versions. --- End quote --- Windows was written to be highly complex to stop others trying to replace it or copy it. WPF, .net, .net core, Winforms etc etc all add to the bloatware. I do a lot of Windows dev work. Someone somehow cocked up uploading selected files to a website in Visual Studio. Instead you had to upload the whole website, a real pain and took ages. I complained and they eventually fixed it. Only to find on next revision it was back to square one ! FFS ! They fixed it again and then messed it up again Currently it is back to fixed but who knows for how long. A few years ago they removed C++ winforms and my program relied on it. I complained and eventually it was put back in but only as an option. I am now moved over to .net core which seems better and faster than C#. Hopefully they wont mess that up or make it obsolete. |
