I think that one is pretty popular. Popular “smart” products are usually only smart to and make the manufacturer some extra scratch after sale.

And car touchscreens are either disliked, considered a status symbol, or considered necessary in order toobtains another feature. Very few people actually like them.

I agree, but I definitely think we reached a high point a decade or two ago. Windows switched to that weird hybrid GUI with 8, and websites now are obsessed with whitespace, scrolling fuckery, and the like.

While word 2003 was probably the high point for that product, I don’t think that about windows, Linux, or the web.
