Too little, too late by campuscodi · 2017-09-22 09:17 · Score: -1, Flamebait

Too little, too late. You don't add features once in a while and expect to be on top. Look at what happened to IE. It was once a good browser, but it was left to sit in a corner. Once Oracle deprioritized Java, it was as good as dead.
