Your points are all true but box is not at all the kind of app I was talking about. Box must be deployed to tens of thousands of users and likely operates in a competitive environment. I'm talking about the kind of app that exists in one organization, has 1 - 10 users, and is not a huge part of one persons job. Something like an EDI tool that sends invoices to that one creditor that requires some strange EDI format and only just makes up enough of your business for it to be worth while. Where the EDI was written 15 years ago and no one knows much about it. Then you get a new dev asked to make a small a change and comes back saying they need a week to improve its performance or shrink it's binary.
