> what, specifically, is IBM doing that is so bad

This is just the customer facing stuff. The internal politics are more painful.

- Got rid of RHV, gave customers no realistic migration path

- Moved an entire BU of employees from Red Hat to IBM with no choice except to GTFO if you didn't wanna become an IBM employee (storage BU)

- Each area of the business is under increased oversight due to IBM beancounters thinking they know better

- IBM interference in product development (IBM has a deal, so they want feature X, even though bugfix Y and Z are more important)

At first it was all "yeah, you red hatters are gonna save IBM", but Red Hat is at the point where OpenShift is being milked by IBM 100%.

Yeah it was genuinely really sad that the deal couldn’t have been “here have OpenShift for a mountain of cash, leave us alone.”
