I would disagree with that. Having recently (actually it was close to 2 
years ago -- doesn’t feel that long) upgraded my main workstation, it was 
a massive jump in usability compared to its decade-old predecessor. The 
comparison is kept fresh by the fact that that old machine now serves 
backup duties, so I do still need to do a few things on it once in a 
while.
