You can make a nice UI very fast. Forms, fields, buttons. It's nothing like SQLLite which is just an SQL engine.

This is like saying "why would anyone use dropbox when you can just run rsync on your Arch linux box."

To me the main feature of both Access and SQLite has always been the fact they're single files. Very easy to manage.
