Those tractors and cars were designed without power assist. Todays cars are. Try driving a modern car without power assisted steering, for example. I think you will find it worlds different than the old vehicles. I had a unit go out and it was a bear to turn even a slight curve in the road.

Personally, I like Deluxe Paint better than anything I have seen since then. Other than a few applications like that (and modern ports thereof) it is probably mostly a hobby thing.
Nothing today exists today that is like Deluxe Paint III. It was a great painting program with animation as a bonus. PS and Gimp are not painting programs. Those that say they are never used DPIII

NIF is the first generation. Sort of a proof of concept for the next one. I was fortunate enough to tour it on family day last May. Very impressive to see. https://lasers.llnl.gov/about/missions/energy_for_the_future/life/

Apple wants the patent so they can kill it by not licensing it. That would be bad on the iPhone.
