I think this is getting at the essence of what bothers me about the current lineup. The whole thing strikes me as a soulless, focus-grouped attempt to fill a perceived market space, rather than as a genuine, passion-driven attempt to create something nice for people. That might sound pompous or elitist to some, but I would prefer to live in a world where people are genuinely interested in doing good, high-quality work for others as opposed to one where other people are cynically seen as nothing more than potential units of value that should be harvested with the least possible effort. So, yeah, I'm putting way too fine a point on this, but there it is.
