> there's no "done"

I'm totally with you re: Android and Apple being walled-garden ecosystems with ever-changing rules. But, don't you feel like this is true of most software (that it's never "done")? In my experience, there aren't many categories of software that can be truly feature-complete unless they are fully decoupled from popular culture. Maybe GNU units or grep can be called "done", but most apps have to change with the world around them.

The problem is that "done" is a subjective term. Most of the software I use on a regular basis is "done" as far as I'm concerned. If it didn't meet my needs, I wouldn't be using it on a regular basis.

This ignores security issues, of course, but most of the software I use on the regular doesn't have a networking component, so that's not as much of an issue.
