What kinds of hard problems?

Probably the vast majority of problems where Oracle is the right solution are problems where Oracle is already in use. That's actually a large market. It's unlikely that new, greenfield solutions have Oracle as the best choice.

But, let's say in 15 years -- people have some hideous brownfield AWS legacy application -- is it worth it to rip and replace an existing block of working infrastructure just because there's some new hawtness?
