Am I the only one that is percentage wise more often cursing Word than 
Blender that I can not find how to accomplish simple things?

On the subject of in-house. I am doing an in-house development of an ECG 
package, the users in-house are mainly doctors and researchers from non 
CS or physics background. I have to provide an as easy as possible 
interface for them that still allows the more experienced ones to add 
their own specific functionality. I am not completely objective but I 
think I am not doing too bad. I know another in-house project in 
academia that is much worse than Blender or Word.
