nobody who actually uses salesforce for daily work chose it. it's sold directly to CIO/CTOs as a one-stop shop for CRM, ticketing, reports and biz dev, who may occasionally use it for reporting (but more often get their staff to provide the reports directly to them). everybody stuck having to use it to actually track work just has to suffer with it.
Or in my case, it was sold directly to the CMO, and as the CTO I was stuck with it!
Isn't this the SAP businesscase as well?
