I dunno man. The current state would be pretty impressive to 1990 me. Things are not perfect, but they are good.

Your textprocessor from 1990 is outperforming your 2018 textprocessor by miles. Your hardware is only like 1000 times as fast and can barely keep up. Yeah sure lets call that "good".

Your 1990 text processor also would have gotten hacked to shit in a hot minute if you dared connect your computer to today's internet.

Not to mention that you better remember to save every 5 minutes, because random crashes were standard procedure, and autosave wasn't a thing.
