Re:Scrollbar Blindness

This trend is sickening. Windows 10 has a nearly 1 second delay when mousing over the Start Menu scroll bar. Why wouldn't I want a scroll bar there? It is the primary thing I seek when I click Start.
In the Gmail Admin interface for users, the scrollbar vanishes unless I have my browser nearly maximized. Do the designers live in a world where their browser is always nearly full screen?
You'd think huge companies would notice and care about these things.

Keyboard that represents "brand values" and "angling the device to enterprise customers" sounds like OnwardMobility gets what it is all about.

Everything you write, I cheer.
Massive customization, and then you are bound by this broke ass Object model in which to get it all done, between Apex and VisualForce nauseating crap.
I don't want to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for the right to do write database driven web pages.

Na. Roll your own and munge text how ever you want. Don't cede control to bad GUI/web tools.
If you are good, you aren't "scripting", you are making a rad MVC system.
Salesforce puts all the MVC together in nasty, nasty ways.

It's really a whole working methodology that includes an Object model, which one would call backend.
Did I mention its a nasty fugly POS?

Exactly. Instead of ETL, start writing your own Perl and various logical, reusable components. Roll your own ETL, however you want it, in a terminal. So what, you have to learn vim, big deal! Mouse driven interfaces are a huge part of the dysfunction.

The tools and stack of Salesforce make building your own version extremely appealing.

The backend stack of both make development like swimming in glue. The same managers you are referring to cut us over to these tools and we subsequently experienced a massive decline in our business.
