Where, then you would place "Agile Programming" and the "Release Early//Release Often" approach to application & System development?
things that "just works" are soon boring, and a bit later begin not to work so well.
Then the fun is to make new things until they become to "just work".
if this wasn't true, Linus would never have invented Linux :-), after all unix "just worked" :-)
I respectfully disagree about UNIX "just working". It was expensive in that you had to run it on expensive hardware. Most folks didn't run UNIX on x86 home-based systems, for example. Then came Linus, and the surly bonds to expensive/proprietary hardware was broken! I sill remember the joy and awe I felt when I first got Slackware running on a 80286-based system at home. "I can actually run UNIX without having a Sun Sparcstation on my desk!" The Open Source community is definitely "liberal", which has clashed with my default condition of conservatism from time to time. But I credit it with helping to enlarge my "bubble" and to realize that the right answer is usually in the middle somewhere.
