Well we're starting to see game mashups and photoshop clones. So, the effects are becoming more outwardly visible.

Not new software.

I would like to see some of this software improvement in the form of fewer bugs. If anything it's adding more bugs.

I'll give an example from a game I like called ARC Raiders. For the first ~9 months they did not fix any of the bugs in the main menu. The damn main menu! The first thing you see when you load the game! They also failed to fix, in that time, the bug where simply pressing the Xbox button on the controller would break in-game voice chat.

They only just solved that, as of a few days ago. The main menu bugs still exist.

The question was about good software. Those photoshop clones won't even let you get basic work done.
