We've been using Bind and ISC DHCP (and Windows DHCP and DNS) for a
very long time.

Motivations for us moving to INFOBLOX included being able to delegate
zones to less-skilled (and even non-IT) people, better control over
almost 700 domains :-( and integration with multiple AD domains.

We did look into Route53 and other hosted DNS solutions too (for our
external DNS), but that wouldn't have solved all the internal DNS/DHCP
issues.

I'm with Dan, though. It sounds like the primary driver is a GUI?
