There's something in here that says to me that if you just wrapped the tool's (wordpress, drupal, joomla, whathaveyou) admin page in a theme that made it look like a Microsoft Office app, people would warm up to it more. It's amazing the effort that people will put into figuring out how to do something (effectively half-assed, but still be reasonably successful) with Access, and end up doing it wrong, purely because it looks like the rest of the Office apps they know, when they could put just as much effort into another, more proper tool. And it's inexplicable how people will put the time into learning to use something that doesn't doesn't look like an Office app at all, like an Access database or some Word Basic application that runs inside of Word (where the buttons are all misaligned and the colors are inconsistent and the screens are just massive grids of buttons), purely because it's spawned from inside an Office app.
However, making anything look like a Microsoft Office app is offensive to anyone who actually knows how to use these tools.
