With respect to NT's market dominance, it's like the old IBM mantra: "We don't have to have a great product, we don't even have to have a good product, we just need to have an adequate product and market the hell out of it."

I know nothing about NinjaTrader so this is interesting to hear. If I had to switch, I would probably go with MotiveWave. I'm still hoping that things work out with Sierra Chart.

As to IBM, I think you're being unfair to Big Blue considering the sheer number of cutting edge technologies they were responsible for inventing. Also, there is nothing wrong with providing your customers with excellent support, as IBM did and, I suspect, still does. There's a reason why people say "nobody ever got fired for buying IBM".

Wikipedia on IBM's contributions to the computer field: (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM)
As one of the world's oldest and largest technology companies, IBM has been responsible for several technological innovations, including the automated teller machine (ATM), dynamic random-access memory (DRAM), the floppy disk, the hard disk drive, the magnetic stripe card, the relational database, the SQL programming language, and the UPC barcode. The company has made inroads in advanced computer chips, quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and data infrastructure. IBM employees and alumni have won various recognitions for their scientific research and inventions, including six Nobel Prizes and six Turing Awards.[14]
