Sure "meh", but don't you think breaking data out of FGDB is important? This reaction is why ESRI isn't that concerned about opening it, if you guys don't care, they won't.

Either organisations have made the effort to switch to full relational geodatabases, or they can get by using shapefiles as they have been for years. Once the ArcSDE barrier is out of the way then I'd imagine a lot more GISs moving to full databases. And what IT department has the expertise to use a C++ API but not a relational database?
