It's been my experience that many of those disparaging RUP didn't know much about it. For example, that it includes implementation, testing, and deployment activities throughout the entire lifecycle:

I agree. If SOAP were changed to UML, I could do a whole talk with that slide about “Things that are considered bad ideas, but actually weren’t” or maybe “Best examples of throwing the baby out with the bathwater” :)

You’ll note the slide doesn’t call these things as bad, just not great. IMO industry adoption is a strong indicator of usefulness and fit for purpose. Or there are better alternatives available

Definitely an interesting discussion. While I think it’s generally true that good ideas will be adopted and bad ideas won’t be, the inevitable backlash after ridiculously unjustified hypes often leads to an equally ridiculous total rejection later
