CRUD applications are not what most enterprises build though - they need interconnected flows of data & state-machines often supporting rather complex workflows and integration patterns. Not realizing this is a mistake many enterprise IT shops make. The boring crud-thingie that someone hacks together will sooner rather than later have to be integrated in a distributed system of state - this is where it gets hairy and most enterprises get stuck.
