They may be an unreasonably large corporation; one can't help but hate them a bit for that, but they build products that people USE and BUY (Real $$$ even!!). They must have something going for them! If someone would write a decent timesharing system for the S370/3033, I'd leave the minisystem I use. But those turkeys in IBM can't write utilities worth a damn! (Look at IEHMOVE). They build nice fast, general purpose machines though; that's why I'm not consistently anti-IBM just for the sake of it.
