What about the actual users?

If this works for you, go ahead, I can't stop you.

But this is not software craftsmanship, or even software engineering. Don't act like it is.

Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear—we write business software. The "key stakeholders" are the users. And they're ecstatic. They love what we're building.

I'd actually say it's both craftsmanship and engineering. :)
