The user experience for random x86 servers is utter garbage, especially at the low- to mid-tier. Bug-riddled firmware, weird licensing schemes for some features, IPMI is complete crap. Salespeople stuck in the 90s who can't get their head around the fact that I want an HBA for my ZFS, not some convoluted "RAID solution". Updating firmware is an adventure. Middlemen who all seem to think you'll be running Windows, again, stuck in the 90s or 2000s. I'd gladly pay a premium for something better here.
