I don't really care that much about my tone, especially in this case. My constructive criticism is not all that constructive: Stop. As I said elsewhere is is not a new idea but it is still a bad idea and a broken implementation.
Sad but true. The rate at which software quality is decreasing is increasing all the time. e.g. even though I haven't upgraded my phone's OS for over a year (I have tried, but the newer versions are always broken in some important way!), Google pushes out updates to Play Services that I can't block that cause crashes, dead batteries, broken apps and features, etc.
This is why, more and more, I gravitate toward not only FOSS software, but stuff like Emacs that Just Keeps Working. It seems like hardly any software developers care anymore about making things that actually work. Imagine if modern cars broke as often as most computer software does. (And as cars come to depend more on complex software, they are going to get less reliable--just as they were getting to be very reliable.)
As for software trends: all hope is lost.
