@rglover, You'd think it'd be a no brainer right? Even though it may be logical and your user's have been asking for it, it is more I think cognitive dissonance, cuz you see "mobile/social apps" winning and everyone around you is doing cool consumer stuff and you get sucked into that vortex even though you know fully well you are an "enterprise app" but again there is that whole idea of making enterprise sexy and what else is more sexy right now than mobile/social....again cognitive dissonance. As Entrepreneurs it is ok to make decisions based on what your surroundings are telling you as long as you are fast enough to realize what aspects of your product work and which ones to cull and iterate onward.

What's the ROI of "sexy?" I'd ask myself that before I made any decision, especially those motivated by those around me and not my customers/users or team. You're right in that there's nothing wrong with making a decision based on your surroundings. Though, unless those surroundings are in tune with your product (i.e. other teams/companies working on enterprise products), they might as well be ambient noise. The only opinions/qualifiers that matter are those coming from your user base.
