The standalone IDE was/is also reviled by most tech folk as 'for babies', a true shame, because it is very good software, does it's job extremely well.

That's the road to Nipton, right? A lovely road, great to drive. Two lanes, good asphalt, no businesses, no surprises, ditches, no trees, no traffic.. one railroad crossing.

Idiots. Lol.

Unrelated, and this would not scale up much, but some folks in FidoNet worked out (or stole) an online voting method that's super low tech, public, and verifyable, but of course the weakness is on the details:

Everyone posts their vote (yes or no) and a password or phrase there […]

Not that I'd recommend this, but ferric chloride will eat aluminum violently and leave the steel untouched.

Horrible substance though.

I worked in a PCB shop for a while as a yooth.
