Well, some of the 21st century "solutions" are utterly inferior -- take "Co=
ntinuous Integration" and "Source Control" as an example -- integrating bot=
h together solves a lot of problems: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/d=

+ Less redundant processing; you don't need to parse everything to check it=
s correctness.
+ Better and more accurate source-control (because meaningless things like =
whitespace don't matter)
+ Formatting/style wars don't matter (because meaningless things like white=
space don't matter)
+ File-system environment doesn't matter, because the program source is in =
an actual DB instead of in test-files in the ad-hoc DB of the file-system.
