This is a great lesson. However, I'm afraid for you're designing your product to be good for the people who are being paid peanuts and are new to the business, but those are not the people who are buying your software. They're just the users of the software. Oracle put basically no thought into their UI but put a lot of money into promotional videos and sales, and they sold their software to giant international banks because the people buying the software experience it only through videos and salespeople. I'm terribly afraid that you're going to be punished for focusing on the right things.
