And they're doing it again with the move to the new technology platform Forge - monkeypatching ZF so that is just a little bit different and writing their own PHP templating language Spectrum. BBC FM&T has a bad case of the NIH.

Completely disagree here. I have worked at the beeb through the good and bad times (arcane scripting languages built on top of mod_perl), there has been a recent and very fast transition to using much more open industry standard technologies.

I've been working on the new platform since it was released and 99% of the time have been using pure ZF code. Not sure who makes the tech decisions where you are but I'm seeing no indication of NIH.
