OK, so the "conservative/legacy" comment was aimed at IBM's programmer tools and middleware. I think about everyone would agree with that. They never really targeted regular every day software developers like Sun did or Microsoft and Google do.
When I think of IBM, I think of armies of consultants, who are more concerned with closing deals and satisfying specific client needs rather than making the best general purpose software tool stacks and winning developer mindshare.
