I think that's a rather quick judgement on moral philosophers as a whole based on the experience of someone who didn't even take the time to think through utilitarianism (one of the most controversial topics in moral philosophy) from the description you gave. I wouldn't be too quick to judge a major branch of philosophy like that.

I wouldn't judge the whole field of software engineering based on an intern's Java code either - and I likely wouldn't judge the field even based on an expert's Java code.
