What he’s referring to here is Apple’s nerve to deliver a powerful new, modern ARM processor and Steinberg’s to develop the more robust and secure VST3 architecture, both of which require old coders to learn new tricks.plexuss wrote: Wed Jul 01, 2026 5:10 amCoder friends of mine all agree modern software is bloated, complexified and enshitified almost beyond believe. I know I sense it as a software user. It is in fact tied to a failure to provide quality by corporate leadership who are more focused on getting weathy than making good products. Mike is right, IMHO.jamcat wrote: Fri Jun 26, 2026 7:10 pm “Apple, Steinberg and the rest of the megacorporate industry that forced this unhelpful bloat on everyone.” Another unserious statement from an unserious person.
Mike has a long history of railing against progress. You can still find his tirades against 64-bit and VST 2.4 here on KVR, before he was banned.
