> can't imagine why anybody would see RUP as a bad process to follow.

Are you kidding, the 90s were filled with same for and against arguments of RUP as we have about Agile and Scrum now. No process is right for everything so you will have people misuse a tool and blame the tool. The same orgs that micromanage Agile teams would micromanage RUP teams and people will be just as angry about it. RUP is a tool and is as good or bad as the people using the tool.

That said, I agree with you that RUP has some benefits.
