Less fluff more buff is something I experience in a variety of products, and the one I interact with a lot on a daily basis (a cloud accounting tool) has this exact problem. I was just thinking, as a part of the compensation issues of PMs (release feature, get promoted), are we killing the 'back end' teams in favour of 'front end' teams, because they are more visible? It seems like requests on core and productivity improvement/power user features are always just forgotten about. Not because they're 'harder to implement' or whatever, but because back end doesn't get the resource and manpower they need?
