> Why are developers who work in an agile environment miserable?
Yes. And yet that often doesn't happen. And that's where one might argue "well then you aren't doing it right", but that's precisely the No True Scotsman argument.
I see teams be miserable, have all the power to do something about it, including buy-in from management, yet they remain miserable. A key feature of any alternative methodology and organization should contain this: It's the role of management to ensure teams aren't miserable. Merely giving teams the tools to do so doesn't make it happen.
