Hilaire. I completely disagree. The 2 areas you spend most of your time (and often waste it ) in my experience with business applications are
a) The gui b) persistency The tool support for both is pretty poor and both areas have been reinvented over and over again. Most of the reinventions were extremely poor in supporting the developer in getting things done, not to mention maintenance. Sick, isnt it? I can only underline what Sebastian said: if building a ui is hard, a system is probably not worth wasting time learning it.
