Yep, most of the software in, say, 2005 was better programmed, ran better and was more functional than it is today. The same could be said about websites as well. Sure, few areas have experienced progress, but the basic functionality was much better back then than it is now.

I think part of the problem is in the fucked up development cycle, copyright stuff and the general environment of modern software development. Everything is being rewritten at the highest speed possible. Everything is being replaced at the highest rate possible. There's always frantic development and modernization going on while no one actually moves anywhere. No wonder that with each new iteration the quality is getting worse and worse. What's the point of doing something well if in some half a year or a year all of that shit is going to be replaced anyway? Hell, I'm still using scientific calculator app from 2003 and none of current shit can even approach the functionality and/or quality of that one!
