This completely misses the point. Corporate IT doesn't want a Michaelangelo--they don't even particularly expect to be the envy of every startup out there. They just want to get shit done. It doesn't have to be spectacular shit, but the people working there generally harbor no illusions--they aren't offering stock options, and the people they hire generally don't care about the problem domain. They want to get shit accomplished given these constraints, not chip the perfect webapp out of a solid block of (fucking) granite.
