Enterprise software doesn't have to suck. I worked on databases for oil & gas and similar systems and even though the UI wasn't the best, it was an off the shelf solution that many customers could use their complex problems and regulatory needs. If ease of use is your only metric of quality then lots of Enterprise software sucks, but if you measure quality by how effectively it solves a problem for a customer, Enterprise software might not look so bad. Also blackboard might suck (as a student it didn't strike me as horrible), but there are good tools in the same industry like Piazza.
