I use it at work, and "happy" is not the word. "Constantly bothered by it, but not sufficiently annoyed to actively fight it" is more like it. And the bloody calendar is not that bad if you have, say, 10--20 meetings a week. Yeah, my life sucks :(

Many people fail to understand the fundamental truth behind your wise statement: if your software doesn't do X, corporate buyers will not even consider it. It can be badly done, not scale and generally be poorly engineered, but do whatever they want it to do and suddenly you are eligible. Sounds reasonable, right? The vast majority of people are not able to see beyond the "what" and into the "how".
