I recently adopted a codebase that (of course) was a mess... I can confidently make that statement as the end users were extremely frustrated with the lack of usability. The front end was just as bad as the back end. So, I spent 2 months repairing features, rebuilding a few, refactoring quite a bit and on launch day of my updates I received an email from an end user that said: "You are the best and this is the smoothest it's ever been" I printed that email and hung it above my whiteboard. Felt AWESOME.
