People nowadays forget how shitty software used to be at launch.
Or so I’m told. I’m not actually of the generation that remembers software without an auto-updater.

Both are true, really. AAA software was usually better, because they couldn’t assume that they could easily supply updates later. Also, software was generally not as complex, so the bugs weren’t as easily introduced.
Bargainbin software was always horrible.
This is amusing for me and propably most Arch linux users
Whither the enterprise software and its 10 years of ABI guarantees? Oh, right: it was devalued long before it got boring.

Still better than what was done previously - publish a buggy “final” version which is unusable (at least not usable safely), then you wait some 6-12 months for v1.1, or SP1, or whatever the designation. And only then you can actually start using it in production.
