The main issue is you can pick at most one of three from "good", "cheap", or "fast". Agile gets you there fast, but the product is crap. Traditional engineering design results in good reliable products, but typically won't be either fast or cheap. Outsourcing everything to developing nations gets you cheap crap long after you needed it. I prefer traditional engineering design, but I prefer to work with hardware so there's no real ability to patch.
