KWC is a pretty fascinating place, but all I've ever seen about it is from people on the outside looking in. Are there any accounts from the people who lived there?
I cut my teeth on HyperCard and I'd say that the web (HTML, JavaScript) is a pretty good successor. Getting an image on a page and then linking between pages is quite satisfying when you're starting out. Something like a basic web page is great for a beginner but there's the whole gamut from there up to 3d games and virtual machines (wasm) to advance to when you're ready.
This is anecdotal, but my experience has been the opposite. I briefly switched to Chrome some years ago because everyone else was and the dev tools were genuinely better, but as a user it felt clunky and slow, so I switched back to Firefox. They pretty quickly got their act together wrt to the debugger and such and so I only ever dropped into Chrome for work and to this day it's still clunky and slow. I never understood why anyone would want to stay with Chrome especially with Google ramping up their shenanigans.
I, like many others here, would love to have an EV. But in a world where people are being paid barely enough to eat, it's no wonder no one can afford premium EV prices. Make an affordable EV and people will buy it, that doesn't seem like a revolutionary idea to me.
