The complexity, man!  How can you enjoy an IDS that doesn't have a 
management appliance which uses different terms than anyone else for 
everything???

And, honestly, I really miss configuring both PC anti-malware and IPS in 
the same console because the job functions are so close to each other 
and the overlap is so clear.  Another thing I think that most folks who 
have used ISS really miss about the product is the built-in firewall 
that's so stupid that it requires you to add rules just so the firewall 
can talk to itself.

These are the sort of things which provide much-needed job security.

Sure, sure, they did do some cool things like let you explore your 
events the way YOU want to, something most folks are barely getting the 
hang of.  And it actually ran fast enough that you couldn't go out for a 
cup of coffee between queries.  But it's that old-fashioned complexity 
and confusion that really just gets me all nostalgic and misty-eyed.
