Dude those guys aren't coding the next world of warcraft. A poker site is not THAT difficult. And they are at this since at least 3 years.
You see massive delay - I see a basic and common mistake of over-optimistic estimates.
I don't see incompetence of any kind, but rather something similar to what happened with development of Starcaft (extremly succesfull project written by extremely competent people which got extremely delayed). “sort of a combination of ambition and delusion,”
"Everybody` said, “All right, we can ship this thing, we’re only three months away.” Then, “Okay, now we’re only two months away.” StarCraft was “only two months away” for fourteen months.’"

Poker playing platform is a huge project, and if someone is a perfectionist then it's basically a sink that can consume unlimited resources.

I mean, a few month ago, galfond announced (with some pride?) that his team will be working on the function of changing the background colour of the tables.
The ****ing background colour.
If you have a working client that displays a table in front of a red background colour, in order to make player able to change this colour you simply have to add a menu where you can chose a blue background instead so the program will load blue_background.jgp instead of red_background.jpg.
the mere fact that this is a feature that takes some time for galfond's team says they are beyond hopeless.
The fact that you think it's not a feature that takes time shows that you're completely clueless about software product development. You sound like you really think that the work to be done here is actually few lines of code for a menu item and loading bitmap.
If you want to do things right than ANY visible change is a feature that takes time. (Boring coding rant follows)
