I see two+ entwined fundamental problems here:
1. Amazon isn't especially known for high quality software. I picture lots of weird corner cases that won't be tested or fixed in their frantic pursuit of new features (which is what's rewarded, like Google if not more so).
2. Sky high Amazon attrition - especially in engineering!* - means that it's always newbies who'll be working on it, under high pressure.
I have trouble imagining a non-trivial corporate app with any kind of lifespan living on this thing.
*I live in Seattle so any Bezbots can save themselves the denial of harsh reality.
