It is funny... I think that the problem is the typical pointy haired boss
syndrome. You get these morons who get promoted outside of their level of
expertise and have to make a technical decision. In order to justify their
salary they pick the most expensive technology available. (look how smart I
am!)
Of course the CEO eats it up because he can brag to the investors that they
spent $500,000 on Oracle and EJB licensing... (because their technology is so
amazing)
ug...
The hard part is trying to convince someone that Apache technologies are
superior. (these cost exactly $0.0)...
Try convincing someone to use Torque instead of their $200,000 EJB server.... it
is like trying to drive your hand through a 6' wall of steel...
ug...
