You must have really stupid customers and partners. Accept my deep sympathy for this. > > Huh?

So development decission are typically driven by people that have no clue? Interesting... Honestly, if I have to decide in a project I tend to run away from vendors that do the wrong thing just because some stupid people ask them to do so. But I agree with you that if you have more stupid customers than intelligent ones it might be smarter to serve the stupid ones. I still wonder where all these stupid people come from. If I explain dependency resolution algorithms to our freshman students most of them get it.
