Sounds like TCP is in dire need of an upgrade that makes the protocol more power-friendly.

Everybody implementing their own protocol over UDP seems highly undesirable.

I doubt, it's likely some inherent issue with their setup. E.g they use http on top of the TCP, at that point I'd stop and discard the rest of the article.

OTOH, UDP is totally fine depending on what you are doing, it's a very simple (NON-stream) protocol to boot.
