where complexity overwhelmed durability
And it's not even the durability that's necessarily the point. When I want to generate an audio signal for testing, I want to just turn the thing on and there it is.

Sometimes, you just need a device that does one job.

Feature creep is an insidious plague of modern technology. I don't mind using multiple tools to get a job done so long as they actually do their part in getting it done.
