This is speculation, but my guess is no. For one thing, they're very different application domains. And although it's easy to hoot at 18000 classes, we should hoot at the managers and the corporate culture, not the developers. It could undoubtedly be done with 20% of the staff if only they had a clue whom to keep. But when you have the revenues of this lot, productivity is irrelevant. I've seen similar things. Design documents (before coding, in a waterfall methodology) running to hundreds of pages. FFS, I've never stayed true to anything beyond a high-level design that could be described in 20 pages.

When something has 18000 classes, either there';s no architect or there are way too many. I don't recall which, but one of the currently fashionable methodologies says that there shouldn't be architects. Utter drivel unless it's a very small group of skilled developers that agree on the design.
