"'Not Invented Here' syndrome. A bad reason." That seems a little strawman-ish, honestly. On the contrary, they embraced the technology and architecture of the app. What's wrong with looking at something like this.. an important infrastructure piece... liking the idioms and architecture but having issues and thinking ....

But you and others seem to have a strong convication that they were wrong, and all I think....and I think others here too.... all I think is that it is silly to attack them and be so certain they were wrong. These are talented developers. Smart guys. With a little bit of business talent, too.. All of us have been in complex project cycles. Who are you or anybody to pick them off like they somehow caused somebody harm? Why the intensity? What gives?
