The other major tool I'd put up there with Smalltalk and Hypercard is Excel, at least when it comes to automation of real-world business problems. To an extent, it made a large enough set of problems easy enough to solve that tools have stagnated as a result.

What was the state of "frameworks" in 2005, particularly in Java-land. Struts? Spring? Anything that didn't make you want to gouge your eyes out?

Even outside of Java-land, Rails had yet to hit 1.0, and Django was just starting. The evolution of the framework has come a long way in 6 years, and frameworks have become less "one size fits all" and more task-appropriate.

I think a more appropriate title for this post is: "Why I Hate circa-2005 Java Frameworks"
