You aren't seriously claiming that Oracle (still mired in the stupipd convensions and proprietary dead-ends it started with 20 years ago) is not "Old, Bulky Technology". Lets see, how about this for a list

• The WORST administration GUI interface in the industry
• The entire system FAILS if one bracket is missing from a particular text file.

I'm sure we could go on.
