I'm still using an FTP service that I started using the late '80s - its not free, it's never lost anything, and I can only recall a couple of outages that mattered to me. The shift from vanilla FTP to SFTP was a nuisance, but relatively painless.
IT went skewwhiff when TPTB started telling their mainstream project managers to adopt skunkworks techniques, closely followed by the script kiddies union telling TPTB that Open Systems standards were an authoritarian construct that stifled competition.
