This is a great post to get people thinking about the amount of time and effort that's required to build a great user interface and work flow scenarios. It took me a long time to appreciate the difference a great interface makes for an application. For me the problem comes from the original team that start building out product. They are working on sweat equity, don't have a $1 to spare and are rushing to market. If they don't have a designer among them, the design and usability gets moved to 'When get some traction, we'll redo this' and it never gets re-done and more items are piled on top of the quickly made UI. By the time the product ships the UI is almost unusable.
