Shrug I would take these more seriously if I felt amazon was executing at an impressive level. Honestly though, I feel like AWS (what I consider their flagship, most-profitable product) runs on a windows-95-level interface and is missing the most rudimentary features for over a decade.

If your results aren't successful, then your methodology must not be successful.

What features are they missing? Which competitors have these features? Are AWS’s results not indicative of success?

Here are some example very basic use-cases:

- Ability to show all EC2 instances by creator (e.g. David quits, what servers did he make?)

- Ability to sort EC2 instances by date of creation

- Ability to show instances that seem inactive (< 5% CPU average load).

- Ability for searches on instance names to support partial matching.

- Ability to change PEM file associated with a server

- Option to resize instance HD size and have it immediately extend the FS

- Status indicator on instances that show when the server is under so much load it may not be responding to SSH

- I'm seeing a glitch lately where dialogs follow my cursor.

These are just a few very basic things I can think of off the top of my head. I'm sure there are hundreds that other people have come up with.

An organization that cannot successfully direct such requests to the teams to build them, and then make it happen, within a decade is not an organization I would model after.

They may be market successful, because they were the first mover, but they aren't taking basic steps to solidify that dominance imo.

I like the windows-95 interface joke and I guess your other half is also against that lib
