    The problem with all software is adoption. Usually it’s trying to get people to adopt a protocol or buy a piece of software that causes less than optimal decisions to be made. There have been lots of good replacements for all of the things you mentioned, they just never caught on. And the problem in the beginning when they didn’t have those pressures was the hardware and bandwidth limitations.
