Situation is much better now than 10 or 20 years ago, so let's enjoy it more!
Software wise is much better, the hardware is still from 10 years ago. Unfortunately Power architecture continues only in mainframes and big servers.
Luckily the hardware already got at the point where it doesn't matter that much anymore. Our 10 years old hw is perfectly fine still for most uses and still closer to mainstream than Amiga was for example 20 years ago. I'm happy with G4 still, and can take a step to G5 too when that time comes :) It's still comparable to what they sell as new, because it doesn't seem to be about teh bestest and teh fastest that much anymore.. there's lot of variety today with all the mobile things, Raspberry Pi alike modest machines etc... so overally we're in better position than one could have imaged we ever get. Of course fresh HW will be needed eventually, but it's not worth all the rants people are easily doing... it isn't a reason for not enjoying or encouraging other people :)
