"Yet another good reason to keep one's users in the loop while developing a program."

Very true!

That new application was something we bought couple of years ago, but with quite a few major enhancement added. By the way, that vendor bankrupted 2 years ago, which I think they deserved.

We added couple of major enhancements through the years, and for the pieces we add, the design is better, as we always had users involved, and they saw the screens/screen flows on paper as early as design phase.

The users are much more satisfied with the enhancements we made in house than what the original application delivers, but the original part still makes up 95 percent of today's application.
