As a resident of the Triangle, it sure doesn't feel like a big loss to me. Do we actually benefit by handing out tax breaks to a megacorp just so it can relocate a few thousand jobs to the area?
We've got our own problems related to growth already, we surely don't need to grow even faster - especially not by adding companies that effectively contribute nothing back financially to support all the needed infrastructure (after all the tax breaks).

There's a lot that I could say about this more specifically, but I will leave it at, yes, I think this would have been good for the Triangle.
