Of course, nothing personal, but as an user (not programmer) I have the feeling that programmers are given the same problems and fail to actually solve them like they failed 10 years ago.

You might be the exception, but - again as an user - I find the same inconsistencies or bugs or more generally "queer" behaviour in programs that I found 10 years ago, so something (not necessarily the pure programming part) must be "wrong" in the way they (the programs/apps) are conceived, released or tested (or non-tested).
