Sun finished last in almost every one of the Gabriel Consulting Group survey's categories, spanning technology performance, customer satisfaction and software tools.

Actually, thats incorrect about Mainframes; they're good for certain tasks; they're great for massive batch transactions like what is done in a bank, but most of the time, rather than them being used in many cases, a large SUN box could do the same thing without too much fuss; its not about 'suckage' its about using the right tool for the job.
