Well, make a stop... You can't compare things programmed back in the Dark Ages with nowerdays programming. We make far more complicated programms in far less time and for lesser cost. You can critisize overusage of patterns, but under-usage of patterns is clearly at least as bad. Patterns make code understanding simplier, because everyone (should) know them, and simplicity is the goal as many of us stated before. You can't reinvent the wheel each time you write a piece of code, it's simply waste of your time and customers/companies money.
