Neither of those examples are working well - not even close.

They "work" in the sense that they have a checklist of features that I'm sure function as intended.

But the product/network as a whole is far from "working".

Maybe, but the article needs to talk about that. That is my point. From my own view, I'm using both of those things and it does work, so why would I entertain a slough of new ideas to be started from scratch without seeing a compare and contrast discussion?

Yep, that's fair pushback on the author; I agree.
