1. works OK if you don't look *too* hard
2. a necessary, even critical upgrade for deep infrastructure reasons that most users don't know
3. exciting new features you can't use because it's only 70% implemented
4. wildly divergent technical "standard" compliance between platforms
5. experts with complex needs just ignore it by using shell scripts that interface with its legacy predecessor -

2. No
3. No - specifically those "features" are often XY-problem emanations
4. Yes, and hence contradicts 2
