A good tool does not need to throwaway existing frameworks or paradigms in order to deliver. I am a firm believer in using what's already proven. >The complexity of the tools we use is a result of their great flexibility and power.

excellent point...more developers really need to learn to take the business/owner perspective on the use of technology. The person whose money is on the line wants a working solution, not technical purity.

This sounds like growing-pains for a growing business that has perhaps bitten more than it can chew. I would suggest you wait, now that you are surely going to get their attention :) If they don't respond to this, then by all means tak
