That's the way I have always felt. I am a natural gadfly, and every business meeting I have been in has been like the lake of fire. If I present my ideas they are shot down. I spend the rest of the meeting listening to people drone on about the most obvious things, usually winding up where they started.
As a programmer I have always been lazy, inclined to use the leverage of tools already developed to solve problems with the least effort. I have always been surrounded by people who want to start from scratch to make the new interface look like the old interface, maximizing the effort, the pain and the expense.
I'm not sure where Senor Gobucks was going with it, but it a topic of great interest to me. I'm sure he has other ideas.
