Any decent graphician and musician can create the right audiovisual feeling in a demo, but not every coder can make it look as intended using 2MB graphics memory and a 50MHz 060.
Ive heard arguments like this before. It seems like you cannot be a decent coder unless your program pushes the envelope, hence the "I cant belive its 50 mhz" experience. With the new hardware being made available people tends to think that coding is becoming to easy. What people forget is that there is limitations for the new system aswell. The new demos shouldnt be comparable to the old ones.
The target for coding on the new hardware should be: "wow I cant belive its only 800 mhz"
