Reminds me of when my university changed from “CCnet”, running all courseware/grading on custom code written by an engineering professor running on a tower under his desk to WebCT/blackboard.
The former worked fast and without any issues, but the latter just groaned and groaned and crashed.
During the transition, a prof asked the class which one to use and all 250 people said in unison “CCnet”.
“ Its main virtues were the stark, no-nonsense interface and the incredibly efficient (although complex) database system that made CCNet ideal for running large numbers of courses with very little by way of server computing resources.”
