Is the 1911 an outdated design ?

Don't recall if this has been posted here before, but found it in my postimage account & decided it's worth sharing. I couldn't have said it as well, or any better than what's quoted :

It's outdated, finicky and a whole lot of fun to work on and shoot.............

The 1911 in .45acp is my favorite and also my wife's favorite range pistol.
