I agree, to an extent.  Certainly more powerful hardware makes different
algorithms feasible and can result in more functionality.  On the other
tentacle, my old makefiles and compilers run like lightning on my new box.
That's another form of "more functionality" - one that I won't give up
for any fancy IDE.
