Their entire internal workflow from development through final release
and deployment was built around these ancient/nonstandard toolset. It
was economically infeasible to retool both the technology and the
processes for millions of lines of code under version control - there
just wasn't an ROI for it. This is not uncommon in large legacy
environments in my experience.
