The tragic thing is that your humour only conceals slightly the truth. Just take a look around at commercial software and sadly too much OSS. Word? OpenOffice?

A truly valuable result of your work is that we will be able to test performance of new and clever UI widgets and make sure they (should) actually work ok for older machines. There’s a lot of them around. Obviously I’m concerned about a couple of million Raspberry Pis, for example.
