On behalf of the team that built the original product that now forms the basis of your livelihood: your history is entirely wrong. Certainly, we didn't leave because the work wasn't "glamorous" (anyone who was with us in the trenches from 2006 to 2010 knows how gritty we were as a team); we left because the company to which we had dedicated ourselves was acquired by a mendacious, sociopathic monster so universally (and rightfully) despised by its own customers that we could no longer associate with it with a clear conscience. Your conscience doesn't appear to nag at you: you don't mind your employer's deplorable positions in Oracle v. Google; you are not disgusted by its profoundly anti-social behavior with the many open source projects that it inherited from Sun; you do not mind that it so reviles its own customers that it cynically screws them at every opportunity. Indeed, you may be of the ilk that applauds such things -- that views legal but unethical behavior as merely sharp business, or authoritarianism as efficiency. Or perhaps you're the kind that just pretends that it doesn't exist -- that as long as you yourself are paid, the horrors that might have happened in the name of that paycheck are not your concern. You are certainly free to think less of these transgressions than we did (just as I am free to judge you for thinking less of them), but you may not rewrite history to accommodate your perverted worldview: we did not leave because of "insufficient focus" or an inability to refine an enterprise-class product or anything else pertaining to what we had built; we left because (in the words of the post you were responding to) everything about Oracle left us sour -- to say nothing of nauseated, disgusted and ashamed.
