It's more abstracting away costs to trick people into unrealistic cost-savings expectations than the UI. For some reason telling execs they can replace their 2 expensive enterprise architects, and 3 data analysts, and mumbling under your breath "for the low low cost of 10 times their salary" always works.
Having worked with Salesforce I can write better software myself
I've had to work with data my colleague pulled from Salesforce. And the one thing I remember was that the output files were inconsistent week to week, like data types and file encodings would randomly change on you. Absolutely baffling considering it's from the main product of one of the largest software firms on earth.

Makes sense. I'm just a guy inputting data into the garbage database, so I'm unaware of what the actual sales pitch is.
