Yes, analog stuff can be built tough too. See the vacuum cleaners that still work after 50 years lol, because they were overengineered. That's not nearly as profitable, though. So bean counters (fail early, but after warranty period, fail often) are ever at war with engineers who'd rather make a good product for a fair price. I have heard good things about Bosche but yet to buy anything. I will definitely consider them. I'm not really afraid of things made in Europe or USA, unless internet research proves otherwise.

Software can be simple too. I haven't needed anything more from my email client, photo editing, word processor or file manager apps for close to a decade.

As far as I'm concerned these tools are feature complete and can be used without subscriptions that phone home constantly.
