Deserves shredding!
Looking at their (Evans') home page, I'd suggest that 'product development' is the key. Their market is payware companies, which IMHO leads to a bias against open source freeware.
I ran into this kind of thing when I was asked to speak at NetWorld+InterOp a few years back, and our apache+perl+expect systems got ho-hum because the guys in the audience were better paid if there were unfixable bugs than if it worked and they moved on. IT is more often about job security than it is about success, I opine.
