I'm going to suggest that for specific situations, nobody actually has 
expertise until they are trained in (or understand) what is needed. 
People can come with knowledge, but will they learn what is required, 
or, will they attempt to change the job to what they know?

VMS is not hard to learn.  Regardless, the OS isn't what is important, 
it's the local apps and needs that is important.

Not having point-n-click will be an issue for some people, but, 
surprise, point-n-click doesn't solve all problems.

Is someone who doesn't want to learn anything they don't already know 
really all that helpful?

As for wanting to give up a working solution and trying to replace it, 
that is very expensive.  If people want to throw money away, I'll give 
them my address.  I've seen such decisions destroy companies.  Of 
course, by then it's too late.  And those who cause such will just take 
another job.
