Point being, commoditization is not a binary. It's not on or off, there's varying degrees of just how bad it is. At some point during that scale, the quality argument tends to fall down a little bit and I've seen it happen a few times.
Interesting to hear you still offshore though, despite obvious troubles.
We had offshoring before. But the push 10 years ago was to do the bulk of work offshore. Like to have the lead here working with 5 developers there.
I can still see it working though. 5 to 1 is hard to ignore (although I think it's like 3 to 1 now). It comes down to implementation. Like everything else.

Sounds like a very familiar story to ours.
