[am.lists]

Not pointed at any particular quote or comment, but in general, I've
heard some very intelligent people relay something like the following
when asked about why M$ products are so bloated and buggy:

Microsoft can't expect everyone to write the most efficient and
perfect code. The talent is just too hard to find and the timelines
are too tight, but if they can provide decent [GUI] IDEs to enough
decent code developers, the hardware performance will cover up for the
lack of good solid code.

Granted, that's a "hearsay" paragraph of something I totally disagree
with, but it's more than likely the reality in which we live.
