Just because a user wants it one way does not necessarily mean that that 
way is a good way or that other better ways do not exist. The difference 
between a developer and a consultant is that the developer will simply 
implement the solution as requested. The consultant may advise a 
different way to solve the problem that in the long term is more 
efficient, flexible or scalable. While the former gets the instant task 
accomplished, the later is the longer term view and many times can make 
future request much easier to satisfy.

I prefer the longer term view. ;-)

Also, if I never had to look at or code Visual <anything> I would be a 
much happier guy...
