John Gruber expanding on his reaction to Adobe’s new UI to connect Nilay Patel’s “software brain” concept with the loss of creativity and craft in software:

You might think it counterintuitive that a movement obsessed with software would be spearheading a severe decline in the design quality of software, but in Patel’s definition, there’s no concept of software as art, as a practice, as a craft. Software brain is purely an obsession with software as a medium in and of itself. A means with no consideration for the end.
