Until Jane leaves for greener pastures. I do understand what you're saying though, there is a time, place, and trade offs for everything related to computing. (imho) Most 'businessy' systems can and should start out as spreadsheets, it lets the business people solve the problems with process design, and prove its real-world value without bringing a costly developer in. The developers (like myself) should be there to take the codified mess that results, clean it up, improve usability, bring in more stability, and accountability. - Sadly, that is rarely how things go.
