There is a lot of room for improvement, not just in IBM's products,
but across the board.  In my response to the survey I pointed out that
most of the problems relate to "incompatibilities" between products
by different vendors.  If IBM finds ways to do this better it will
benefit even those of us who don't use IBM products (I looked around;
the only IBM product less than 10 years old in this lab is a
mouse pad left by a sales rep.), both by raising standards for
other vendors and by putting pressure on other vendors to improve
interoperability.  Who knows, they might even come up with something
we would buy.
