Or just maybe, to use a Steve Jobs quote, one is holding it wrong and should look elsewhere.

People sneer at this Steve Jobs quote, but almost anybody working in tech had at some point quoted another, stronger, quote like "We tried to make the program idiot proof, but they keep making better idiots".

There's also: "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning."
