To be fair, I do see the benefits of microservices in the right scenario.
They allow for small, independent teams to focus on simple, testable and disposable bits of a greater application and this can help reduce time-to-market and embrace continous delivery when building complex and intricated systems.

I worked on a not-quite-microservices-but-still-service-oriented project and it was fun, bits of the application can go online without worrying about the others (we used message queues to decouple them). But it surely was complex to handle and maintain compared to a monolithic application.
