But I only have so much energy, and when this company has just shelled out some unfathomable amount of money for a piece of crap, they are loathe to change. Also, as far as I can tell, there's a strict division between the responsibilities of the developers vs. the admins. Not that that's all bad; there's an amazing variety of job descriptions here, and unless I made it my job to know all of the different tools being used by these different people, I could easily make a very short-sighted decision.
