Yeah, I don’t read the original thread that way.

I’m just hearing “modern tools could sure use a round of streamlining” and also “we should learn from Hypercard to make tools that are more accessible to newcomers.” Which are two different thoughts, and both modest and defensible claims.

And speaking, for example, as somebody who just used Docker in heat for the first time — yeah, there’s a clear example of something where a total revamp of the config format without fundamentally changing the core tool would have saved me some painful hours.
