Where is all the new, good software?

The author of the article, Nate M. suggests that there is a lack of new, innovative software being released due to several factors, including the rise of cloud computing and mobile apps, which has reduced the need for traditional desktop software. He also points to the increasing complexity of software development, the high cost of creating and maintaining software, and the difficulty of monetizing it. Additionally, the author notes that many developers are now focusing on creating software as a service (SaaS), which can make it harder for new software to be developed and released. This has led to a 'stale' software ecosystem, where many users are still using outdated software because they are hesitant to upgrade due to compatibility issues or concerns about buying new software.
