C has all the expressive power of two dixie cups and a string.
I use a really simple calendar program on my computer.
Of course, all of the software I write runs on Linux; that’s the beauty of standards, and of cross-platform code. I don’t have to run your OS, and you don’t have to run mine, and we can use the same applications anyway!
Why should someone have to retrain themselves to use a new application that does the same basic thing as the old application, just because something as trivial as the operating system changed out from under them?

Nothing stands still. The real question is can you change it?
Your needs are big because the Internet is big.
There is a lot of money to be made in the business of secrets, of course.
