Software does not suck; requirements, especially from non-technical stake-holders suck. Every single piece of software starts with a single and easy to understand idea, then different stakeholders arrive and start adding inputs and often conflicting requirements, and then software starts to suck. None of these would have happened if we knew how to say "No". :(
