In any software program, how you model the data tends to be at the root of all else in the program. If you screw that up and make it complex unnecessarily, you will have an inferior program. You can put a bad UI on a good model, but you cannot expect much stability from any UI on a bad model. It's just like the movies. You can make a bad movie from a good script, but a bad script never, ever made a good movie.
