They are the definition of a complex company and environment. Not everything they do is bad. Some things they do really well. Seriously, you had a bad experience with one IBM product. Would that keep you from looking at other things they do? They do lots of amazing things and make some platforms that define the sector for solving certain kinds of problems.

That was one of several IBM products that I had a bad experience with. Lotus Notes too for example.
