In their defense having worked on sorting out problems on old complex large scale publishers sites. If your trying to make a collection of services hang together in a seamless way you do need some sort of front end to tie it all together and that needs to be usable by non gurus.

Though they do seem to be using all the new toys maybe a bit more thought about which technology to use rather than jumping from technology to technology.

Yep I understand that.

We publish several huge legacy applications, several huge new applications, several integrations, public web site, documentation, online support. A mere 80-100 million HTTP transactions a day.

Not once have we built something to do it all.

I don't need to add leverage to the conversation by mentioning my employer. My arguments have merit on their own.
