Having worked with ArcGIS before, I disagree with NRO's characterization of the software.  GIS stands for Geographic Information System, and it is a backbone that can underpin lots of different mapping products, but you still have to build a website with it and program how it will display the information.  ArcGIS is a tool, not final product.  It would be analogous to saying "I made this apple pie from scratch" and someone taking issue with the fact that you didn't grow the apples, mill the flour, or churn the butter.

That's not a comment about the rest of NRO's arguments.
