to me it's simply weird.

e.g. praising BAPIs like that is ... well, I said it.

just my opinion.

Pretty harsh. Some reflection of truth in the article knowing the Abap vs Java camps in SAP and the Walldorf vs Palo Alto drama. I mean you'd have to be blind or deaf to deny it. I think it's more a personal opinion shared by a large group probably and maybe in Germany in particular (and that's not even sure). But to put that much blame on somebody who injected American qualities to the German qualities of SAP, it's a little ... I don't know ... maybe misplaced.

SAP is not in such a bad shape after all. And I'm not saying to go look at Oracle to find what mess really is in product strategy/development/operations

Granted that there is/was/still is a bit of a gap there in the ABAP vs Java camps things have improved quite a lot over the past year especially in WDF. I must admit some hint of the truth is there but only a small fraction of it.

The feeling over here is one of "bummer he left" not so much the "hurray" I just think the article is weak - personally I think "misplaced" sums it up.
