> Business users looooove drag and drop. I've seen products burn a stupid amount of money to have it, and decision-makers insisting it was a must-have no matter the cost

This just made me laugh because it is so true. I thought it was just my stupid luck that I keep working with companies obsessed with drag and drop. But you are right. I have seen companies blow hundreds of thousands of dollars implementing drag and drop on a trivial feature. The same company will then complain about spending a few thousand dollars implementing a security feature or implementing training programs to teach employees about the importance of securely handling PII.

Edit: PII = Personal Identifiable Information (social security numbers, credit cards, birthdates, etc).
