1. Its just text.

2. No one is stopping you from doing this if you have such great ideas.

3. There already are redesigns.

Can you show me some?

Is there anything new to add?

Dunno, why do so many countries use a legal system rooted in Roman Law? Why do we still write using characters invented like 3000 years ago?

Because if it works don't fucking fix it! If the potential loss for a change is greater than the potential profit, don't do anything!

B-but words like woMAN and sHE are sexist and need to he changed.

It's javascript/html/css based, which caused people to complain about overcomplexity.

But it could definitely be the next level up from the 1980s.

That's retarded. Sure if it wasn't something you can't experiment on heavily or revert prior, but I fail to see why you can't toy with ideas on a computer system
