It seems to me that the software market is a "market for lemons"[0]. Consumers lacking a decent way to validate software quality don't believe you when you do in fact produce a high quality product as other firms who produce low quality software are making the same claims you are. Everyone assumes that virtually all software quality is bad, and if its going to be bad anyway why not complete the work quickly as well?
