This assumes a one-to-one relationship between pieces of software and workflows, which is absolutely incorrect. Just because you design a piece of software to be used in a certain workflow does not mean that that workflow will work for everyone; software which allows users to configure it to fit their individualized problems and processes is infinitely more valuable than software that tells the user "it's my way or the highway."
