If you use run-of-the-mill people, you will have a high failure rate, too.  
Take the fuel gauge project at Dialog as example: I left, and while the 
customer was quite happy as long as I was there, the project became a 
failure after my departure.  I knew why they did buy our team, because they 
did not only lack the knowledge, they also were completely unable to keep 
the knowledgable people.

As Elizabeth said, the root cause of failures is usually mismanagement.  You 
need good management to make a project a success, and one key management 
skill is to get good people to work on the project.  Bad managers often say 
"good people are very difficult to manage", because yelling at them doesn't 
work.

Yes, the reason why I like to do such a lot of things myself is that 
building on other people's code means the stuff is broken.  The low-level 
stuff usually works, it is the middle layer which is overly complicated and 
therefore bug-ridden.  However, the conclusion of this article is that the 
low-level stuff gets enough pressure to work, while the high-level stuff 
doesn't.  Why?  I don't think Microsoft's people liked the fact that some 
component did misdraw under certain conditions; they for sure have put up 
pressure to fix that stuff.  They just couldn't fix it, because it was too 
complex, and they (typical Microsoft-mentality) needed the backward 
compatibility.  So throwing it away and redoing from scratch wasn't 
possible.  In the meantime, they are way more into throwing things away and 
redoing them from scratch, and while their software quality improves, their 
customers really don't like it.

The article also explains why so many morons pick up high-level stuff: It 
looks easy.  It isn't.
