IBM has ruined everything its touched for the past 20 years. The out of touch executives, insane amount of marketing/sales hype, and cycles of consolidation and cancelation of products turns people off. Why trust IBM with a critical part of your infrastructure or stack? If it weren't for the extremely lucrative legacy deals they get thru ERP sales to governments and F500 companies or z/os stuff, they'd be 6 feet under, but somehow, they are still a go-to vendor for all sorts of legacy trash. Don't get me wrong, they've produced alot of great technologists and contributions to software/hardware, but not a company I'd trust.
