Completely agreed on the "lag in technology" -- couple that with the fact that even if you do manage to book a flight as an affiliate, most providers only give you a flat fee (as opposed to hotel affiliates which tend to give a percentage).
Disclaimer: Those claims were relevant the last time I investigated (>1 year ago). It could have changed by now.
On the plus side, building out the flight tool really endeared me to hacking on things - which eventually lead me to leave my last job and co-found something new. :)
