completely chucked a sane development flow for the sake of a few features that 
are rarely actually used.

By "rarely" do you mean "literally all the time, for years,
indispensibly"?  Being able to easily build multiple configurations of
the same working tree is incredibly useful.  The inability to do this
as easily with MOOSE has cost in man-hours of both workarounds (when I
maintain multiple trees to test different software stacks) and errors
(when I don't have room to do so or time to go back-and-forth and one
configuration or stack regresses).
