It is interesting how in both cases they disregarded what was being made around them.
What was made around them was only ever the gorilla with jungle thing. Fine for small programs, or larger ones within walled gardens. But not fine for infrastructure work.

I guess security is not relevant as infrastructure work.
Oh, and what do they use today?
