It is relevant to the product quality. You get less for more money.

Hmm, that cheap imitation of cheap NWM 2? Do you liked DA?

No doubts. The point is that the design decision is not what makes the game
better.

Maybe you should think about ordering a new pair of spectacles...

It is certainly upgraded in order to make your C++ programs no more running
under Windows NT, 95, 98, me, 2000. A nice new feature!

It rather introduces new defects like xdoc files. Everybody who have to use
Office admits that each new version is worse than the previous one. It has
a worse UI and more bugs than before. I also like their "fixing" FrontPage
... to non-existence. FP is replaced by some garbage editor program, unable
to create simplest HTML documents.
Visual Studio UI also has been deteriorating from 2003. 2005 is worse than
2003. 2008 is worse than 2005. 2010 is disastrous. Only the compiler is
slightly better. The debugger became definitely worse. It never hanged in
2003, never blocked the system or crashed the studio. In 2010 that happens
pretty frequently. 2003 had a decent help system, it is ruined now. 2003
had manageable project files. Now it is an XML mess. 2003 had a usable GUI
editor. Now it is a garbage. Well, precompiled headers didn't work then,
they still don't work now, almost a decade later. 2010 requires 10 fold
more time to start. Did I forget something? The only improvement is that
they finally ditched these idiotic manifest files. But 2003 didn't have
them, that was an "improvement" of 2005!
