Network effects and business' risk aversion.
Nothing to do with technical superiority / inferiority really. The MBAs only hear "we must replace everything from scratch" and immediately shout "NO!".
Offensively simple I am afraid. That's all there is to it.
Believe me, I'd jump with joy if we scrap like 75% of all UNIX crap, especially "untyped text rulz" in the terminal -- and introduce one good terminal protocol in the process. But it ain't happening in yours and my lifetime.

- pdimitar 2y agoObviously. Anything that's being done without some analysis is downright dumb, RIIR included. Though to me it seems that a good percentage of those efforts will improve a general area. Still your point stands.
