The plane had too much design-input from smartass Graduates and bean-counters and not enough from experienced aeronautical and systems engineers. and it shows!
There is an old saying, origins unknown:

It takes one generation to start a company,
A second generation to run the company,
A third generation to close the company.

Boeing is not going to close over this but it will not be forgotten. Hopefully, it will be used in business schools and text books.
