Yeah, advertising problems that can be fixed by a solution is not exactly big tech's strong suit.
Man, SSIS really stunk. You'd end up having to write your own components anyways and had the extra layer of making them look like pricey RAD toolkit bits to satisfy empty suits. And then you'd have to write SSIS packages that wrote SSIS packages to deal with fluid schemas from multiple teams deploying all of the time.
It won't fly. Not when a popular red meat election year topic is breaking google up and one such year is just around the corner.
How to make lots of friends and enrich the lives of everyone around you:

BBSs had fidonet in 1993, if email, usenet and irc don't count
I'm not really going to address the speaker directly since after reading NSF forums for a few years, I'm convinced aerospace engineers can devolve any innocent or academic discussion into 4chan levels at rates exceeding the speed of light. Of note: the speaker doesn't speak to anything specific that is being worked on to address issues, and only addresses "linux" as a whole, which is about as useful as addressing SVR4 as a whole.

job: getting the next project their nephew made in high school to run

- 3 years of janitorial services experience
- Proof of current therapist
Historical note: the golden age of crazy uncle email forwards made me completely reject capitalized sql statements
They're very useful for the boilerplate stuff and it's somewhat rewarding to type out 3-4 letters, hit tab and wind up with half a dozen lines in a bash script or config file.
They tend to get in the way more for complicated tasks, but I have learned to use them as a psychology trick: if I have writer's block, I just let them pump out something wrong since it's easier to critique a blob of text than a blank page.

Don't take issue with the platform. Take issue with companies that are so fanatical with "we're a microsoft/java/javascript/esperanto shop!" that they'd cram it into medical devices and nuclear reactor controls before doing some sort of sober domain analysis.
Everything has its own set of problems.
