Many of these responses hilariously demonstrate why enterprise software interaction design is so poor: the market simply doesn't care. The root cause is not that enterprise software vendors have no taste, it's that the stakeholders involved in the procurement process don't value interaction design. Like any market, it's likely that the vendors that are successful value those things that their customers value, and interaction design is not one of those things. The vendors that are passionate about design eventually do something else, because their work isn't valued by the enterprise market. The vendors that remain in the market either don't value design or aren't committed to it. And, by extension, the best designers don't stick around in companies where their talents aren't valued.
