"Nobody else has anything remotely as good as Active Directory"
Although, speaking as a developer who has written some stuff against Active Directory, it's nasty.
AD feels like a fudge, built on top of a compromise, painted to look like a marketing document but held together round the back with duct tape.
The parts of it that work do, sort of, work. But that's because the admin interfaces hide a multitude of sins. When you actually start writing code against AD, you start to notice the can of nasty, parasitic, diseased worms underneath, all of whom seem to want to kill you.
