Devs code and users try to deal with the result in often rudimentary surroundings because in a sense both are able and willing to pay the price of freedom.

Could you be any more cheesy and lame?  JHC.
That cringe is right up there with Feeb's Ode to Assembly:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
When I encounter high level code of any kind, my mind cannot help
but to plunge immediately down into the assembly code that underlies
it all.  Thus, as a consequence, I do not not especially favor
the creation of ever higher abstractions that serve only to
obliterate and not truly enlighten.
It is, I suppose a sickness, but it is a sickness from which no
escape, or cure, is possible.
