Yes. And i agree that this has lots of disadvantages, but isn't this
the same on every system/platform?

Just look at QU2, System i Navigator, the :2001 Administrative
Webinterfaces, which will later lead you to DCM which was obviously
written by someone with even less sense of style than myself.

And most of the vendor software on the i differs - a lot. I know a few
third-party IBM i software packages, and each of them has their own
installer, patch methology, licensing system, screen design, UI
design.

I don't think that the NIH syndrome will help with this - and actually
developing ALL software from scratch just to run a business would seem
like a bad idea to me. And even then: Just wait 10 years, and even all
the custom software developed by the same team will have become
disparate.
