From a users point of view the UI is the software. To people who program for a living this may seem ridiculous: The UI doesn't do anything without the code. But to the user it's the opposite. The UI does the work, everything else doesn't even exist.

I have been on both sides of both situations, and it just underscores the true value of a good dev team, and management who understand the process, both internal and external. I would say the management is arguably more important than raw dev talent, as managing expectations is paramount to all other output in most business.
