Software used to have a personality that matched the platform it ran on. Mac apps felt like Mac apps, Windows apps felt like Windows apps, iOS and Android apps felt like they were at home there. My unpopular opinion is web development, and its bastard child "cross platform web apps" have killed the personality behind software when the majority of development went into building for a browser instead of a platform.
