It's so strange, but I hate being so spoiled for choice.
The main thing I miss about software from 20 years ago is that there were rarely more than two or three answers to the "which software should I use?" question. By today's standards, the tools we had were subpar. But it was easier to tell the best of the "worst" from the worst of the best.
I recall it being more of an issue with file size, stability, and RAM usage. The question of "does this have everything I need?" didn't often occur to us, because that seemed like a ludicrous proposition in a "hey, this thing is less than a meg to download!" environment.
These days, without a substantial amount of (sometimes dubious at best) preliminary research, you don't get to find out if something meets your needs until you have invested enough time to feel somewhat trapped in the new ecosystem.
Ultimately, I'm not saying things used to be better. The tools we have now are miraculous. It's just for those of us who got to experience web search before Google and web search after Google...we will always be searching for that next hit of finding a tool that is so dramatically and obviously better than its predecessors.
