Coming from a perspective of the IT consulting world, CRUD apps are rarely that simple. The core is always the same, sure - you're basically wrapping read and write transactions to a storage subsystem in a pretty veneer. The complexity is never in the CRUD actions themselves. But transforming the things that have been R-ed so we can U them or identifying the full population of things to be D-ed is often non-trivial and deeply tied into understanding of the business domain and process at hand. Often (analytics and reporting lenses on here), the complexity is in modeling the data appropriately and the logic of transformation. The work of presenting this stuff to a user is basically trivial arithmetic.
