Reports, yes, that was a pain in the arse. Anything where you had to generate controls on the fly based on data was painful. Crystal Reports was both a nightmare and a lifesaver at the same time. I always thought that someone should do a better job of it, but I did not want to go there ;) By comparison producing a report (or anything data-generated for that matter) in HTML was easy.
