JSTOR is not a "major academic publisher" at all. It originally sprung up as a consortium of University libraries who were looking for a way to digitize decades of back-issues of old journals, which they could not afford to store in hard copy any more. Now it's (I think) an independently operated nonprofit. Like everything in the non-profit and academia sectors today, they are resource constrained, so you should cut them some slack for not hiring 37 Signals to redesign their web interface.

Thanks for clearing that up. They are a very different sort of organization than the one behind my old summer job.

That being said, I don't really care what their Web interface looks like, but the wording used in this press release is not related to reality, and that bothers me.
