I competed against IBM for many contracts over many years as an engineer at a small startup. The experience left me with zero respect for IBM. On occasions when a customer did choose IBM over us for a project, I would genuinely feel bad for the customer.
IBM is all smoke and mirrors; sales, marketing, and predatory business practices once they get their claws in you. Very little deep technical competence at that company.
