I suppose when you're strapping jet engines onto a metal tube, filling it with people and hurling it into the sky you have to accept that things are never quite going to be perfect.

In the same manner, it seems like the take-away is: if you create something, then you'll always spot the flaws, but when the benefits outweigh those drawbacks enough, you'll probably be the only one who really notices them.

Or as I like to put it (regarding LedgerSMB):

All accounting software sucks, LedgerSMB included. We are working hard to reduce that until eventually we will be the first accounting software that doesn't suck. But that is no reason to withhold our progress from our userbase!

I think LessAccounting may have beat you to that particular line of branding: http://lessaccounting.com/
Well,not sure I would want to build a brand on that. It's not very customer-positive. But I am glad they realize the same as well.
