There is a whole industry of software that is the same. Look at BMC, which I'm familiar with. Or just about anything Oracle makes. Yes, their databases are fast and powerful, but dealing with a lot of Oracle software is like going back to the 1970s. As much as we like to rail on Microsoft (and it's well-deserved), companies like them and Apple, etc., have really made quantum leaps in usability that most enterprise software still hasn't made. Based on my experience, SAS isn't an egregious example, it's typical.
