It's all Waterloo-Maple's fault, really: if they had maintained a version of their computer algebra system for the Amiga, I wouldn't have found it necessary to switch to Mac. Or maybe it's Commodore's fault for mismanaging themselves into oblivion; I don't know. Either way, I became painfully aware three years ago that my little Amiga would no longer satisfy my computing needs. I needed a new home computer.

You're absolutely right that it needs to work to be useful and the author would even admit that the code wasn't really faulty--just way too difficult to get working right. More importantly, I meant Free (as in speech) rather than free (as in beer) and that is more important than whether it works. It may be a total p.i.t., but it is crucial to continued innovation and for programmers to be able to work well.
