No embellishments at all, and none needed; it was an ideal app for VB.

Speaking of webviews... the next place I worked decided that an entire CRM system should be a 300 MB ActiveX control that clients would download and run in IE. Why? Absolutely no reason other than it was trendy and they thought it would seem impressive to the client.

This was in the '90s, and a 300 MB plug-in was outrageous. To top it off, I and another new hire found that they were storing all kinds of state in the UI controls. The manager was agog when we told him that the entire thing had to be rewritten. It's incredible what goes on at... I was going to say small firms, but we all know there's crazy-bad code at firms of all sizes.

Today, of course, it would be suspect if such a system weren't browser-based.
