>Not one-tenth of the problem as people who wrap trivial computations in "enterprise" crapware and use 100x the CPU they really need
I still doubt that the CPU/power/cooling cost of having systems infested with hacky enterprise garbage is its biggest drawback.
That crap also causes expensive bugs and huge maintenance costs (e.g. relatively simple programs that require a team of 12 programmers a month to implement the simplest feature).
