  The HPI is a faculty of the public University of Potsdam, it is not a research unit of SAP or anything similar. They have projects with Oracle just as they do with SAP and a ton of other companies.

  Academia is easily bought, especially in Germany. Also, HN is a hacker crowd with a particular axe to grind re: UI, since all the cool new UI shit makes insta-billionaires, or at least thats the dream. Whereas with a SAP-using business, the computer isn't the product - the products that the computer allows the company to manufacture/distribute are the only thing that matters - and the SAP UI is intentionally set up by bean-counters. Once you go SAP, like get into the SAP Zone, you can be quite productive - but like another poster said, SAP is like vim. :wq
