So by your logic, there should have been no reason to move away from punch cards?

Sure. Disks are better. I don't think you'll hear many arguments here, even from the more curmudgeonly types such as myself 
If you'd actually read my original post in this thread, (go on, try it, I double-dare you!) you'd have noticed that I'm using Firefox for a browser, which is a far cry from the original 'www' client of so many moons ago.

Technology evolves and gets better. Take, for instance, your example of an image viewer, dithering and resizing algorithms are always improving. xv sux with that stuff. If you want to look at ugly pix, then xv is fine. If you want to view your images smoothly resized (and resized quickly), use something more modern.

Note my comment about viewing images. If I wanted them resized or dithered, I'd use an image processing app, such as Imagemagick's 'convert'.
(Incidentally, a quick spot of investigation reveals that xv and gqview both rely on 'libjpeg' and 'libpng' - how is one going to be superior to the other for displaying an image correctly, when the really error-prone stuff is common to both applications?)
