Are there any examples of 'perfect' software? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm talking about programs that can't be improved no matter what. They do exactly what they're supposed to and will never be changed.

It'll probably have to be something small, like cd or pwd, but does such a program exist?

Many might disagree, but imo vim is the perfect text editor for a command line interface. It's just so simpel and does exactly what I need it to do without doing anything unnecessary

    Vim has some pretty messy design... Starting at some of the action quirks and ending at vim9script

    Never heard of vim9script, what is it. I must admit I don't use it for a lot of super complicated tasks just regular yaml and file editing. At for that it's perfect imo

    neovim is a drop in replacement for vim that fixes the issues that bother me with vim
