I don't believe it has much to do with a "want it now" attitude. The new tools and object give your greater control of the system, but the tasks are just as complex as they ever were. The limits continue to be pushed and the new tools only let us raise the bar.

Old IBM systems required millions of lines of code to operate. Today we make apps like FinalCutPro, Logic, Office, and those projects require the same amount of effort and wouldn't be possible without making significant progress in the tools we use.
