Que? You don't seem to have much justification for your points; it seems more like a rant as you have had a bad experience using software provided by Netflix. It would be great if you could provide more details about what was wrong with it rather than just "we are forced to use these crappy tools". I'm genuinely interested. In my personal experience lots of companies (admittedly all large companies, but many of which sell their services / software / hardware to smaller companies) have a use for serving hundreds of Gbps of static file traffic as cheaply as possible. And the slides for this talk seem exactly on the money (again from my experience slinging lots of static data to lots of users).
