In a past career, I was a mechanical design engineer; I've probably spent 10,000 hours of my life in SolidWorks. Not once did I feel like a 3d mouse would speed me up or otherwise solve my problems. I trialed a spacepilot for several months and just couldn't be arsed after awhile. What do others get out of them?
My wife didn't typically game in the traditional sense, but games she's enjoyed in the past are the older Mario games, the Sims, and project zomboid (which she describes as the Sims but with zombies).
She's also got like 100 hours in power washing simulator and she's too scared to try Stardew valley because she knows it'll consume her life.
The cheapest plane I'd feel comfortable flying my family around in goes for about $100k, and you'd better be able to pay ~$5k a year on average for upkeep.
Meanwhile an instrument six pack is cheap buying it off someone that's upgrading their cockpit.
I get that there are solutions to the problem, but there's no way a team of 10 can port 35 years of win32 dependence and keep the business solvent. Maybe incrementally, over the course of 10-15 years. We're just now migrating off of .NET 4.8 because we use WCF so much.
Wow, everyone left another platform and were inspired to leave for the same reason, as a group. Now they're showing extreme similarities in other ways! When will the madness stop??!
It's an adoption problem. My company only supports windows because all our customers use windows. All our customers use windows because all their vendors only support windows.
