I think the article is an unsupported pile of red herrings even though I think apparently the software "quality" has indeed gone down, non-uniformly. The simple explanation for that is that you, the user, are not the customer. A l

I am not in that universe, on the contrary I try to stay as far away as possible. And I agree with you. However I think the everything-done-in-OLD-Excel universe is worse. Some people will be terminally stuck in Excel but at least they can

SQL syntax is only on the surface level similar to natural language. Besides, if we actually considered similarity to English to be an important criteria for a programming language, we would all still be using Cobol.
