Here is a interesting observation, ever wondered why Adobe hasn't put out the "digital editions" yet ? Maybe this piece of software is not so simple after all... Can you think of any other examples ?
Actually I was wrong to say CS. I meant designing software for everyday use. I agree that often writing new algorithms to perform tasks is not at all easy. In my post I gave the example of AI related algorithms.
